He is the sixth and current actor to portray James Bond in the official film series from EON Productions.
Craig's film career began with The Power of One in 1992 and he later gained wider recognition in the UK with drama serial Our Friends in the North in 1996. Following a more lighthearted introduction to international audiences as Angelina Jolie's rival and sometime love interest in Tomb Raider (2001), he raised his profile in the United States in Sam Mendes' movie Road to Perdition (2002), with Tom Hanks. Other leading film roles have included Sylvia (2003) with Gwyneth Paltrow and consecutive films for Roger Michell, The Mother (2003) with Anne Reid, and Enduring Love (2004) with Rhys Ifans.
In 2005, Craig played a Jewish, South African-born Mossad agent in Steven Spielberg's controversial, Oscar-nominated political thriller, Munich.
On October 9, 2005, the News of the World newspaper revealed that Craig had allegedly been having an affair with Sienna Miller, his co-star in Layer Cake (2005). Miller had recently been engaged to Jude Law. In 2006, after completing work on Casino Royale, Craig moved on to portraying the Devil in the upcoming I, Lucifer, based on Glen Duncan's bestseller.
