What Famous Actors Went To School With Daniel Craig?
Daniel Craig boasts an impressive acting resume. The British superstar is best known for his portrayal of James Bond in various iterations of the film series, including his debut as the famous character in 2006's "Casino Royale" and the latest installment that's slated for release in late 2021, "No Time to Die" (via IMDb). Craig further established himself as a series actor when the news broke that he would reprise his role as Benoit Blanc in "Knives Out" for its second and third installments, per Deadline.
With such impressive credentials, it's clear that Craig had a stellar introduction to acting during his time at the prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.

As if this wasn't impressive enough, Craig attended Guildhall with some notable names who went on to find their own level of fame after graduating from the distinguished performing arts school. Collectively, these actors, alongside Craig, prove why Guildhall lives up to its reputation.
