His acting was tremendous.
He looked terrific, he was in great physical shape…very handsome, very chiseled.
He just looked a little young at that time back then.

Cavill was just 22 when he auditioned.
You sit around a table, eight or nine of you.
It was myself and the producers, casting director, etc.
Where once Cavill was too young to play Bond, hes now at age 40 considered too old.
I know with Pierce [Brosnan] he had to sign on to three when we did him.
So thats going to take, what, six years of your life maybe?
I suspect Daniel [had] the same deal.
And the next guys going to have to do that.
Hes in good shape Henry, hes a good guy.
He did very well in the audition, but ironically he was too young.
Cavill did okay, despite not being James Bond.
