Aussie actor Alex O`Lachlan linked to vacant James Bond role

There's a reason there's steam coming out of Julian McMahon's ears about the James Bond role, according the latest 007 rumour mill report on MovieHole.

Fellow Aussie Alex O'Lachlan is apparently also now in the race to play suave spy in the forthcoming "Casino Royale", says The Sunday Herald Sun.

28-year-old O'Lachlan recently moved to Los Angeles to pursue a film career, and has apparently been talking to the troops behind the Bond blockbusters there about filling out Pierce Brosnan's old tuxedo.

O'Lachlan, who is repped by ICM, recently starred in the critically acclaimed "The Oyster Farmer". He next appears in "Feed", with Jack Thompson, which tells of a cybercrime investigator (Thompson) who tracks a man (O'Lachlan) suspected of force-feeding women to death.

Thanks to `Phenix` for the alert.
