DanielCraig is one of us, being a self-described "old hand Trekkie", as well as being a fan of ''{{Firefly}}'' and, of course, ''DoctorWho''. He tried for the role of Montgomery Scott in the JJAbrams ''Trek'' film, but lost it to SimonPegg.

He married RachelWeisz in June 2011.

On an unrelated sidenote, he has been said to resemble [[UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} Russian]] President VladimirPutin, and more bizarrely, Deborah Meaden from DragonsDen.

He also has had a long and healthy career as a stage actor, including playing Joe at in the Royal National Theatre's production of ''Theatre/AngelsInAmerica'' and the Broadway play ''A Steady Rain'', opposite HughJackman.
