Oh man this isn't fair! LOL I am a huge Bond fan so I can't possibly choose. Actually they are both on the side of good so shouldn't they team up and fight the forces of evil?

I don't think Daniel Craig is attractive. Also, I'm not really impressed with the Bond series. Anyway, since I LOVE JD, I voted for Michael Westen.
I like how Craig plays the character but I'm not overly fond of his looks. Although that's a great picture of him with a big gun. Of course it isn't the size of the gun, it's what you do with it, right?

I actually like Daniel Craig in the James Bond movie he did first/last one. He was in a speedo anyway. But I would still vote for Michael Westen anyway.

Yeah, but, this is just my opinion, Daniel Craig looks like his face ran into a few too many fists. I understand it was time for a new Bond and since I'm not a Bond fan and haven't seen him act, I'll leave it at that.

Speedos aside, I loved Daniel Craig as Bond and y'all know I love JD as Westen. Tough choice for me too, so I let patriotism be the tie-breaker and voted for Westen.

Or we can actually just be neutral and vote for both. Daniel Craig (latest Bond) because he is in fact English and well, Michael Westen/Jeffrey Donovan because he is American. You can have your cake and eat it too. Of course it would look better eating it off Mikey.

Yeah! me too. I'm getting the visual and man is it yummy! I like both gents. Craig has an undeniably masculine face. I love the fact he's not a 'pretty boy' and brings a certain grittiness to the role, not quite as smooth and debonaire as the previous Bonds'. JD, equally handsome has a more 'polished' demeanor, a certain sexiness that just eminates from the way he carries himself. Truthfully I'd be happy to stare into the beautiful blue eyes of both men and equally thrilled to eat cake off either one of them. I just couldn't vote. Call me wishy-washy. I love 'em both. -K-

Aww, man - this is just inherently unfair to ask me to choose between these two! I actually was thinking about logging in under that ID I had to create when USA had done its website maintenance and none of us could log in as ourselves, just so I could cast a vote for both of them.
I should say that I read the James Bond books before I ever saw any of the movies. It took my breath away, seeing Daniel Craig as Bond in Casino Royale. He was so close to how I’d always pictured Bond in my mind’s eye while reading the books (a ruthless patriot with an acerbic wit and rugged good looks). In spite of this, however, JD/MW gets my vote over Daniel Craig/007. The scene that popped into my mind as I was mulling this over was that moment from “Broken Rules,” when Michael first shows up at Ernie’s store dressed as the psycho and he’s trying to explain why he’ll have to bust up the front counter. And Ernie said something to the effect of, “well, can’t you just beat them up or something? I thought you were special forces!” To which Michael replies, “Bullets don’t bounce off my chest, Ernie!” I love how Michael knows when to make tactical retreats, or when to hold back on a mission and so forth.
Of course, I also liked that confrontational moment in last year’s finale, when Michael says that thing to Carmello - something like, “I will rain down hell until one of us is dead - and I’m reeeeally good at raining down hell.” Michael is amazing, isn't he?

Yes Pyscho Mikey kicked butt. And after all the breaking of glass in Ernie's store and Mikey GENTLY lays down the flowers instead of ripping the heads off of them. God forbid he destroy a flower.

Craig's James Bond was just vicious. I don't think Michael would stand much of a chance. You could see in last season's finale that the special ops guy was beating Michael up and he would have won if Sam hadn't interceded, that guy isn't even 3 quarters of the fighter of Casino Royale's Bond.

Yeah, I know you're right about this (umm, on an intellectual level, that is - on an emotional level I just can't bring myself to think of anyone taking out Michael). Daniel Craig brought the ruthlessness evident in the book versions of James Bond to life like no other actor has, in my opinion. He's very close to the book version of Bond. I thought he was fantastic.

I so badly wanted to pick Mike. But when it's against my favorite movie franchise and favorite movie character I just can't pick anyone else. I liked Pierce Brosnan the best but yeah Daniel Craig has brought that real ruthless side out in James Bond, and I love it!!!!!

Yeah the names Tim, and like most of you I'm a huge Burn Notice fan. Feel like yapping, message me, I won't bite!

For the one millionth time I will say, that was my favorite episode. I also like the inflection of Michael's voice when he said the bouncing bullets line. Also, in the finale epi when he made the raining hell comment that wasn't boast that was a promise. MAN that was EXCELLENT!!!! I could watch that one again and again.
Anyway, this is NOT the website where you will find unbiased views. JD as Michael Westen will beat just about any other TV spy.

This Bond sounds more cartoonish. (Just a comment from someone that didn't and wouldn't watch Bond movies) No one is invincible. I don't know if this Bond could outsmart Westen. Brains have been known to triumph over brawn.

Michael Westen VS Daniel Craig James Bond

But I would still vote for Michael Westen anyway.
