Daniel Craig in Layer Cake
Daniel Craig (1968 -)
Film Deaths[]
- The Power of One (1992) [Sergeant Jaapie Botha]: Bludgeoned to death with a plank of wood by Alois Moyo, just as Daniel is about to shoot Stephen Dorff.
- Elizabeth (1998) [John Ballard]: Tortured to death (off-screen) by Geoffrey Rush. (In real life, John Ballard was hanged, drawn and quartered for his part in the Babington plot, which plot was featured in Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) - see Rhys Ifans)
- The Trench (1999) [Sgt. Telford Winter]: Presumably bleeds to death after being shot repeatedly in the back by German soldiers as he turns around to order Paul Nicholls out of their trench. (He then falls back into said trench, while he is seen still convulsing as Paul leaves. It's likely his wounds were fatal.)
- Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) [Alex West]: Drowned when he falls into the water and gets caught in the machinery, after Iain Glen throws a knife at him. Angelina Jolie later manages to go back in time and prevent his death.
- Road to Perdition (2002) [Connor Rooney]: Shot in the head by Tom Hanks while taking a bath. We only see Tom firing, then Daniel's body is shown in the mirror as the door swings around after Tom leaves.
- Layer Cake (2004) [XXXX]: Shot in the chest by Ben Whishaw outside a building. The movie ends with Sienna Miller kneeling by his side on the steps. (The original novel ends with an epilogue revealing that he survived the shooting, but the film leaves it up to the viewer's interpretation to decide whether he dies or not.)
- Casino Royale (2006) [James Bond]: Is temporarily clinically dead when he flatlines after being poisoned by Ivana Milicevic. He is revived when Eva Green hooks up the loose wire (which he missed) and activates the defibrillator on him.
- Infamous (2006) [Perry Smith]: Executed by hanging.
- Defiance (2008) [Tuvia Bielski]: Shot (off-screen) in battle against German soldiers after the events of the film. His death is mentioned in the closing text.
- The Adventures of Tintin (2011; animated) [Ivan Sakharine/Red Rackham]: Playing the voices of both the present day Ivan and his ancestor: "Red" drowns after Andy Serkis blows his ship up. "Ivan" survives the film. (The performance was done through motion capture.)
- No Time to Die (2021) [James Bond]: Allows himself to be killed in an explosion, after being hit by numerous missiles while accepting his fate as he cannot get off the island in time and is already suffering from poisoning and gunshot wounds by Rami Malek.
Television Deaths[]
- Sharpe's Eagle (1993) [Lt. Berry]: Stabbed in the back by Daragh O'Malley with a knife, while Daniel is trying to kill Sean Bean. His body is then dumped on the ground.
