Mark's not so Strong Bond baddie audition

The name 'Mark Strong' often pops up when Bond fans discuss potential villains, and it turns out he did audition for a baddie role in a 007 film.

"I went up for a villain in a Bond movie in the Pierce Brosnan era," he revealed. "And I learnt the lines, and to celebrate, I went out for a drink, and I got p*ssed. I overdid it, and the next day I was severely hungover. 

"I started, then I just forgot my lines, couldn't remember what they were, and they all just kind of fell apart. I was sweating, it was a terrible experience, but I really learnt from it. 

"But the irony was, the guy I was out the night before getting p*ssed with was Daniel Craig. So I blame him!"

Which villain do you think he auditioned for?
