Another Swiss in 'Bond 22'?

Philipp von Schulthess

Swiss-born actor Anatole Taubman, who landed a role as villain in Bond 22 and
director Marc Forster, who grew up in Switzerland are possibly not the only
Swiss working on the latest James Bond film. The German-speaking online magazine
20minuten
reports today that Zurich-born actor Philipp von Schulthess has auditioned for a
role in Bond 22.

His press agent Sohela Emami told the magazine: "He in fact auditioned for a
role and it doesn’t look to bad for him. He could land a role in the latest
James Bond film". No contracts have been signed yet. The 32 year old is a
well-known Swiss stage actor, who recently landed his first big cinema role
alongside Tom Cruise in Valkyrie, a film about von Schulthess’s grandfather,
Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, who failed in assassinating Adolf Hitler in
1944.

As the key roles for Bond 22 are already casted, speculation is that Philipp
von Schulthess’s possible role will be a minor one.
