Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig

After Quantum, Craig is signed for two more Bond films. That's a lot of black eyes in his future, among other injuries. In fact, just last month the actor turned up at the photo shoot for this magazine's cover with his arm in a sling (after surgery, to repair a shoulder injury reportedly aggravated by the Quantum shoot). Still, the job has its benefits; it helped score costarring gigs alongside Nicole Kidman (in last year's The Invasion) and Ewan McGregor (in next year's I, Lucifer), and helped him push low-budget projects into production (like this December's WWII drama Defiance). ''Sure, you could say we've had a run of bad luck,'' he says, giving his stitches a scratch. ''But most of the time, it's great. Being Bond has changed my life in ways I never could have expected.'' So far, at least, the stunt work hasn't ended it.
