Dear Daniel Craig: In our opinion, if you’re playing a Chicago cop in a big-deal Broadway show, you’d better be a tough guy on and off the stage. Ditto if you’re playing James Bond. Craig reportedly has asked for security detail while he’s in New York for his debut in “A Steady Rain.” His co-star Hugh Jackman has not asked for similar protection. At RedEye, it gives us an excuse to explore the question with an action-star faceoff.
