context_page_description: George Robert Lazenby is an Australian actor, martial artist and former model. He was the second actor to portray fictional British secret agent James Bond in the Eon Productions film series, playing the character in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Lazenby's tenure as Bond was the shortest among the actors in the official film series and he is the series' only Bond actor not to appear outside of one film.
  Beginning his professional career as a model, Lazenby had no prior film experience and had only acted in commercials when he was cast by producer Albert R. Broccoli to replace original Bond actor Sean Connery. At the age of 29, he was the youngest actor to have portrayed Bond and the only non-European actor to take on the role in the Eon film series. He declined subsequent Bond films and instead pursued a career in Britain, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia, and Hollywood, with his most notable works during this period including the anti-war satire Universal Soldier, the giallo Who Saw Her Die?, the martial arts films Stoner, The Man from Hong Kong, and A Queen's Ransom, and the comedy anthology The Kentucky Fried Movie.
