James Bond Starring Roger Moore Movies List Buy from Amazon Once Sean Connery left the franchise for good after Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Moore made his debut as James Bond in this blaxploitation-themed addition to the series. In Live and Let Die, Bond battles a Harlem drug lord named Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto), who plans on driving out the world’s drug cartels by flooding the streets with free heroin in order to gain a monopoly on the market. Not exactly the world domination plots from Bond movies of old, which makes Live and Let Die feel small in comparison. Despite criticism for the movie’s racial overtones and skepticism with Moore’s cheeky portrayal of 007, the film was a commercial hit, though it was a rather unimpressive debut.

And that’s putting it mildly.

Here Bond faces off against Francisco Scaramanga ( Christopher Lee ), the titular villain who plots to acquire a super weapon called the Solex Agitator, which harnesses the power of the sun into a destructive weapon, while also seeking to assassinate Bond. Thinking he is Bond’s equal, Scaramanga was certainly one of the better Bond villains, thanks in large part to Lee’s convincing performance. But the film itself is long and slow – really, did we need to see Moore’s entire flight to Scaramanga’s hideout? – and boasts one of the silliest fight scenes, where Scaramanga’s dwarf henchman, Nick Nack ( Herve Villechaize ), tries to attack Bond with a knife and winds up being thrown into the ocean in a suitcase. Check Amazon rating » MGM Home Entertainment Buy from Amazon After the disappointment of his first two films, Moore finally hit his stride in The Spy Who Loved Me, not only the best of the Roger Moore era, but one of the best movies in the entire series.

This one has it all: a great opening ski chase that ends in a rousing parachute jump from a cliff that proudly displays the Union Jack; a stunningly beautiful Bond Girl , Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach), who goes by the code name Agent XXX; a classic Bond villain (Curt Jürgens) hell-bent on destroying the world; and everybody’s favorite indestructible henchman , Jaws (Richard Kiel), who uses overwhelming strength and reinforced steel teeth to overpower his victims. Sure, the campy humor is still there, but it’s measured well against the great action sequences and undeniable chemistry between Moore and Bach. The film was a massive hit with critics and audiences, and contained the one of the series’ most memorable theme songs, “Nobody Does It Better,” by Carly Simon. Check Amazon rating » MGM Home Entertainment Buy from Amazon Most people dismiss Moonraker for its over-the-top action, absurd characters and all-too-campy humor. But it’s exactly because of those qualities that I love this movie and rank it high on my list of all-time best Bond movies.

This time Bond battles madman billionaire, Hugo Drax ( Michael Lonsdale ), who builds a fleet of space shuttles and plans to use them to release poison gas across the globe, killing Earth’s entire population, before repopulating the planet with genetically perfect humans. Yes, Dr. Holly Goodhead (Lois Chiles) wasn’t the most exiting or glamorous Bond Girl, but Jaws makes his second and presumably last appearance, attacking Bond during a parachute dive and on a cable car, only to wind up helping 007 dispatch of Drax after he falls in love. Maybe the filmmakers went too far with Bond’s inflatable gondola, but Moonraker is still great fun and became one of the highest-grossing movies of the franchise. Check Amazon rating » MGM Home Entertainment Buy from Amazon In an effort to tone down the over-the-top action and campy humor, the filmmakers returned to Bond’s espionage roots with For Your Eyes Only, a film that has divided critics and audiences since its 1981 release.

Combining two Ian Fleming short stories, the film focused on Bond’s attempt to find a missile command system while becoming entwined with the vengeance-minded daughter ( Carole Bouquet ) of two marine archeologists murdered by a Cuban hitman. That leads to Greek smuggler Aristotle Kristatos ( Julian Glover ), who also wants to get his hands on the missile system. While there was plenty of camp in the opening sequence, where Bond turns the tables on a wheelchair-bound Blofeld, For Your Eyes Only does manage to stay within the lines. The action sequences are fantastic – especially the ski chase on the bobsled track – but the in-between moments are dull, while real-life figure skater, Lynn-Holly Johnson, makes for one of the most annoying Bond Girls ever. Check Amazon rating » MGM Home Entertainment Buy from Amazon The last and definitely the worst Bond movie starring Roger Moore, which is saying something considering his first two efforts. Already past his prime in Octopussy, Moore – who was 57 at the time of filming A View to a Kill – had visibly aged since the last time fans saw him as 007, something even Moore himself acknowledged after the fact.

Making matters worse was Bond girl Tanya Roberts , whose portrayal of Stacey Sutton was grating at best. Christopher Walken earned deserved kudos for playing psychopathic villain, Max Zorin, who plots to destroy Silicon Valley with an earthquake and gain a monopoly in the market. Both Moore and Walken criticized the movie for being too violent and over the top, while not adhering to the classic Bond mold.

Roger George Moore was born on October 14, 1927 in Stockwell, London, England, the son of Lillian (Pope) and George Alfred Moore, a policeman.

He first wanted to be an artist, but got into films full time after becoming an extra in the late 1940s. Moore also served in the British military during the Second World War. He came to America in 1953. Suave, extremely handsome, and an excellent actor, he got a contract with MGM . His initial foray met with mixed success, with movies like Diane (1956) and Interrupted Melody (1955), as well as The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954). Moore went into television in the 1950s in shows like Ivanhoe (1958) and The Alaskans (1959), but probably got the most recognition from Maverick (1957), as cousin Beau. In 1962, he got his big breakthrough, at least internationally, as The Saint (1962). The show made him a superstar and he became very successful thereafter. Moore ended his run as the Saint, and was one of the premier stars of the world, but he was not catching on in America.

In an effort to change this, he agreed to star with Tony Curtis in ITC's The Persuaders! (1971), but although hugely popular in Europe, it did not catch on in the United States and was canceled. Just prior to making the series, he starred in the dark The Man Who Haunted Himself (1970), which proved there was far more to Moore than the light-hearted roles he had previously accepted. Next, he was offered and accepted the role of James Bond, and once audiences got used to the change of style from Connery's portrayal, they also accepted him. Live and Let Die (1973), his first Bond movie, grossed more outside of America than Diamonds Are Forever (1971); Connery's last outing as James Bond. He went on to star in another six Bond films, before bowing out after A View to a Kill (1985) in 1985. He was 57 at the time the film was made and was looking a little too old for Bond - it was possibly one film too many.

In between times, there had been more success with appearances in films such as That Lucky Touch (1975), Shout at the Devil (1976), The Wild Geese (1978), Escape to Athena (1979) and ffolkes (1980). Despite his fame from the Bond films and many others, the United States never completely took to him until he starred in The Cannonball Run (1981) alongside Burt Reynolds , a big hit there. After relinquishing his role as Bond, his work load tended to diminish a little, though he did star in the American box office flop Fire, Ice & Dynamite (1990), as well as the comedy Bullseye! (1990), with Michael Caine . He did the overlooked comedy Bed & Breakfast (1991), as well as the television movie The Man Who Wouldn't Die (1994), and then the major Jean-Claude Van Damme flop The Quest (1996). Moore then took second rate roles such as Spice World (1997), and the American television series The Dream Team (1999).

Was best man at friends Bryan Forbes and Nanette Newman 's wedding Ironically for his first Razzie nomination (Worst Supporting Actor in Spice World (1997)), he went head to head with another former Bond, Sean Connery in The Avengers (1998), also receiving his first Razzie nomination.

Has played James Bond in seven movies of the official EON series, the most of any actor to date ( Sean Connery also played Bond in seven films, but one of them, Never Say Never Again (1983), was unofficial). He never drove the most famous of all James Bond cars in a Bond film i.e. a 1964 silver birch Aston Martin DB5 or any other Aston Martin model. The DB5 was made famous by the Sean Connery James Bond movies Goldfinger (1964) and then Thunderball (1965) with later models appearing in some subsequent Bond pictures. However, Moore, who played James Bond seven times, has only ever been seen on screen with this make once and that was in The Cannonball Run (1981) where he self-parodies his James Bond persona.

In this movie, the DB5's license plate number was 6633PP. Following the suggestion that fugitive train robber Ronald Biggs make a cameo appearance in the Brazil episode of Moonraker (1979), he replied in rather colorful terms that he did not want the escaped prisoner anywhere near the film, as his own father had been a London Policeman. All the scenes in which showed Moore running in his seven Bond movies were performed by doubles, since the actor felt he looked awkward running. When presenting the Best Actor Oscar awards at the The 45th Annual Academy Awards (1973), Moore ended up taking home the Oscar accidentally.

In Moonraker (1979), he had to do a whole scene wet, in the "Mayan pyramid". Although critics often accused him of not looking tough enough to play superspy James Bond, he once beat up legendary American hellraiser Lee Marvin while they were filming Shout at the Devil (1976). Marvin recalled, "The guy is built like granite. Nobody will ever underestimate him again.". Used to own a house in Eaton Square in London, but was only allowed to spend a maximum of ninety days a year there for tax reasons. While filming the interrogation scene opposite Richard Burton and Richard Harris in The Wild Geese (1978), Moore made the unheard of request to have a cut in his lines. After another take he suggested all his lines should be cut. When the director Andrew V. McLaglen asked him why, he replied, "Do you seriously think I want to act against these guys? I'll just sit here and puff on my cigar.". The Living Daylights (1987) was originally written for him, but the script was changed slightly to suit Timothy Dalton after Moore announced his retirement from the role.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7007 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on October 11, 2007 (three days before his 80th birthday). In March 1996, when his former wife Dorothy Squires underwent surgery for bladder cancer at the BUPA Hospital in Cardiff, he picked up the £6,000 bill. He did not attend her funeral two years later, but instead sent a bouquet of purple tulips, lilies of the valley and orange flowers with a card saying: "I've said it with flowers. Roger.". Prior to the release of The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moore filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife Dorothy Squires to prevent her from publishing a book about their life together. She would eventually be declared bankrupt in 1986. In 1964, eight years before he took over the movie role, Moore played James Bond in a hilarious sketch on the BBC comedy show, Mainly Millicent: Episode dated 17 July 1964 (1964).

In the sketch, Bond is on holiday at a resort, when he encounters a female Russian spy (played by Millicent Martin, the star of the show), who is also on holiday. Bond and the female spy spend the sketch trying to do each other in. The sketch is included in the "Live and Let Die" Ultimate Edition DVD. While a struggling young actor in the early 1950s, he briefly worked as a truck driver. Many years later, he impressed the crew on the set of A View to a Kill (1985) with his truck driving skills. He had intended to act in A Bridge Too Far (1977), but was forced to pull out after production on The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) was delayed by a year. He has always been very honest about the fact that he did not perform any of his own stunts as Bond, unlike Sean Connery , George Lazenby , Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig . His least favourite of his films is The Quest (1996). He considered himself to be miscast in Escape to Athena (1979) and ffolkes (1980).

He was a close friend and admirer of the right-wing writer William F. Buckley . Confessed in a television interview that when he first traveled to the United States in the 1950s, he landed a supporting role in the Broadway production of "A Pin to See the Peepshow", a show that both began and ended on the same day (September 17, 1953). Has said he would like to play a villain in a Bond movie starring Daniel Craig , but accepts that can never happen. His popularity as Bond led to him starring in several movies during the 1970s and early 1980s. However, although some were financially successful, most received poor reviews. Confirmed in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph magazine that he's completely retired from acting. [April 2009] In 1954, he signed a seven year contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. However, he was released from this contract after only two years following the massive critical and commercial failure of Diane (1956).

(1971). Denies being approached for the role of James Bond from the very beginning. Never had to audition for the role of Simon Templar on The Saint (1962). Roger Moore's fear of firearms stems from a childhood incident when his brother shot him in the leg with an air rifle by accident when he was age 14. Moved the family to Geneva when he refused to pay inflated British taxes. Curd Jürgens , who played the Bond villain Stromberg in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) had become a good friend of his and loaned Moore his chalet until the family found a new home. Moore and his agent accepted each Bond movie on a film to film basis, instead of signing on for several. He was awarded Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by French culture minister Christine Albanel in 2008.

He has a number of favourites from his own era in the James Bond franchise.

His favourite gadget is the magnetic watch from Live and Let Die (1973). His favourite villain is Christopher Lee 's Francisco Scaramanga from The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). His favourite girl is Barbara Bach 's Anya Amasova from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). His favourite henchman was Richard Kiel 's Jaws from The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979).

Has named the lowbrow sitcom Married with Children (1987) as a guilty pleasure, and was a friend of star Katey Sagal 's father, director Boris Sagal . Personal Quotes (76) (1998) Over the last year I've rather enjoyed making documentaries for a company called Associated Television, run by a man called David Mackenzie. And we shot a couple in Russia, one in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg... they are called "The KGB Files". To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he's a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes?

It's outrageous. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well. My personality is entirely different than previous Bonds. I'm not that cold-blooded killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs. I must tell you the truth - I have not seen them, and for a very good reason. Knowing that I would get asked questions like that, I'm always desperately honest. If I didn't like the performance, I don't know how I would answer. I do know Timothy, and he is a very, very pleasant chap and a good actor. - When asked for his opinion about the James Bond movies featuring his successor Timothy Dalton [his explanation for his comical approach to James Bond] I don't believe in Bond as a hero. It's a load of nonsense. How can you be a spy when any bar you walk into, the bartender says, "Ah, Mr Bond. Shaken, not stirred?". [on his son who owns the London restaurant "Hush"] You could say he has a "License to Grill". Both Sean and I will be forgotten after everybody sees Pierce.

After seeing Pierce Brosnan playing James Bond on the set of the film GoldenEye (1995) My personality is entirely different than his. I can't play the cold-blooded killer that Sean can do so well, which is why I play it for laughs. - Comparing his portrayal of James Bond with Sean Connery 's Today I am completely opposed to small arms and what they can do to children. I played every role tongue-in-cheek because I don't really believe in that sort of hero. I don't like guns. I'm delighted to hear that Daniel Craig has been appointed the new 007. It's a very exciting time and I would like to wish everyone at Eon much success, and welcome Daniel to the family. You're not a star till they can spell your name in Vladivostok. A lot of actors didn't make their start until in their prime - I remember Buster Merryfield - who played Uncle Albert in Only Fools and Horses.... (1981) - saying that it wasn't until he retired as a bank clerk that he got involved with amateur dramatics, and then acting on television.

A lot of my reading over the next few months will be the works of Hans Christian Andersen - I have been appointed an ambassador for the bicentenary celebrations of his birth next year. Bond was escapism, but not meant to be imitated in real life. But if asked which of my co-stars had the biggest effect and impact on me, I say - without hesitation - Eleanor Parker . I was pretty - so pretty that actresses didn't want to work with me. My acting range? Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised. If I kept all my bad notices, I'd need two houses. I've never received a nomination for an Academy Award - and that after I went to the trouble of learning two more facial expressions. [on saving Elstree Studios]: Hertsmere Council extended it a lifeline when it needed it most, and invested heavily. Now that they are seeking to pass on the ownership, I hope that an equally passionate and caring owner can be found; and help take the studio into one of the most exciting periods of film and new media production. [Comparing his interpretation of "James Bond" to Sean Connery 's] Sean's jokes come from left field and I let people know a joke was coming.

I basically said "I'm have a good time doing this, and I hope you're having a good time watching me have a good time.". [on For Your Eyes Only (1981)] I was starting to feel I was a bit long in the tooth even then. Of course, I do my own stunts. And I also do my own lying. I suppose I was just window-dressing at MGM. You might call me Taylor's dummy. I wore Walter Plunkett 's costumes beautifully though. I was the last of the Englishmen, after Edmund Purdom and Stewart Granger , both of whom had been giving them trouble in Hollywood. I very quickly learned that I had to be highly humble and obsequious and grovel a lot. [on finally deciding to leave the role of James Bond after seven 007 movies] I think it was the interminable farewell tour of the variety artists, you know? You can't keep on saying that you're not doing any more and then doing another one. So I just had to say that was it. I had done enough. I mean, for the last three I was getting a little restless. But I had an absolute splendid time doing the Bond films.

I played a lot of backgammon, managed to steal a lot of wardrobe, and got well paid. Nothing could beat it! (Interview with author David Giammarco, "For Your Eyes Only: Behind the Scenes of the James Bond Films") [on A View to a Kill (1985)] I was horrified on the last Bond I did. Whole slews of sequences where Christopher Walken was machine-gunning hundreds of people. I said "That wasn't Bond, those weren't Bond films." It stopped being what they were all about. You didn't dwell on the blood and the brains spewing all over the place. Sadly, I had to retire from the Bond films. The girls were getting younger, or I was just getting too old. I have no idea. I had never met Ian Fleming , but I remember when the search for Bond was going on. I really wasn't aware of Bond until then. I was doing The Saint (1962) and The Daily Express was conducting a search for Bond.

However, since I was involved with The Saint (1962) I would not have been available, although Cubby told me later that I had been on 'the short list.' (when asked if Ian Fleming had originally considered him for the role of James Bond) It used to take them hours and hours in make-up to give me character. Now I've got the character, they take it all out. I like Bond. But it's silly to take it seriously. It's just a great big comic strip. [on A View to a Kill (1985)] I was only about four hundred years too old for the part. People don't realize how physically demanding the role is. I'm still amazed how many people ask me to this day if I did my own stunts. I tell them if I did or Sean did or Pierce did then we would have been physically dead by the end of the first reel of every film! Sean and I never discussed our experiences... not even with the leading ladies! Actors don't really sit around discussing the parts they've played -- just in case someone says, "That was crap!". I have seen Daniel Craig in a number of films. He is a thundering good actor.

The movie Casino Royale (2006) showed me that he is one hell of an athlete. I am disappointed by what is happening today in television. We seem to have gone into an age of cruelty where everything is put down. Even I notice dear Cilla Black has got a new format. Now they have 'ditch' - a poor girl comes up and if you don't like her face, get rid of her. I think it's absolutely terrible. It's appalling. It's humiliating. I've not planned my funeral. I'm not the Queen. A procession through the streets of Stockwell would be nice, I suppose. But when I go, I'd just like everyone to say: "He lived longer than anyone I knew.". The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don't work as well, you can't run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can't lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn't feel any different. I read the obituary columns and I think "Oh goodness, he was only 93!". As a child, I had mumps and the measles. Chickenpox. Tonsils out. I didn't learn the alphabet until I was 11.

I was circumcised at eight. Much better than having it done later, like my old friend in the army, Captain Hornby of the Royal Artillery. Afterwards I said to Matron, "You can't call Hornby 'old cock' anymore!". I'm the worst Bond, according to the Internet. Generally hated! I was too funny, too light. Didn't take it seriously enough. Well, I mean, this is a man who is supposed to be a spy. And yet he turns up in bars and hotels around the world, and everyone says, "Ah, Mr. Bond, we've been expecting you." Everybody knows who he is and what he wants to drink. It's the same with the Bond girls. All the new ones say, "Oh, I'm going to be different from the others", but before long it's always the same - "Oh, James!". [on Quantum of Solace (2008)] I am happy to have done it, but I'm sad that it has turned so violent. That's keeping up with the times, it's what cinema-goers seem to want and it's proved by the box-office figures. Of course, I was getting long in the tooth.

I was 58 when I finished. My god, Gary Cooper was seemingly an old man when he was about 56 doing Love in the Afternoon (1957) with Audrey Hepburn . And I started to realize. When the leading ladies came in and they were younger than my daughter, I thought "Hmm, this is getting on a bit." And then... God, I could have had them as granddaughters. It becomes rather disgusting - dirty old man. Well, I still got paid, and had a lot of laughs. I didn't regret any of it. I note that occasionally when I look at the Internet and I've typed in a reference and then suddenly up comes my name again and then I see the blogs where people write that I was too light and I was too old. I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or Hamlets. But, as that's not going to happen, I'm quite happy I did Bond. [on his knighthood] I am so proud to be the recipient of this great honour. I accept this title on behalf of the many thousands of volunteers and workers at Unicef who dedicate their lives to helping the millions of children in need around the world today.

Lew ( Lew Grade ) was quite simply a gem. When he was at the height of his powers his energy was enormous. He would get off a plane without any jet lag and just go straight to work. His health regime consisted of never having butter and smoking cigars all day long. I like to play things for humour. Particularly as I was playing a hero because I consider myself to be devoutly unheroic to the extent of being a sheer coward. I think any heroism I have is the fact that I did things physically that I was absolutely petrified of doing. I was as surprised as everyone else was to be cast as Bond, particularly since I was already forty-five at the time. [on the death of his friend and The Persuaders! (1971) co-star Tony Curtis ] He'll be remembered as a very good actor when people start reflecting on the amount of work he did both in drama and comedy. He certainly was wonderful in Some Like It Hot (1959) and he was quite brilliant in The Boston Strangler (1968) and in the film that he did with Sidney Poitier , The Defiant Ones (1958).

[on why he took the role of James Bond] When I was a young actor at RADA, Noël Coward was in the audience one night. He said to me after the play, "Young man, with your devastating good looks and your disastrous lack of talent, you should take any job ever offered you. In the event that you're offered two jobs simultaneously, take the one that offers the most money." Here I am. [on leaving the role of James Bond] I left the role when I realized that my female co-stars had mothers who were younger than I was. [on Quantum of Solace (2008)_] I didn't like the last Bond film, it was like a long, disjointed commercial. Sean ( Sean Connery ) is a good actor, it's a pity I can't understand what he's saying. I'm a Conservative. I always have been. Most young people that were brought up with parents who were in jobs like the police force are Conservative in their thinking. You don't have to be rich, wealthy, high income to be Conservative. I just think that Conservatism is the way to run a country. I would have been very upset if we had had to take the Queen off our currency.

They'd probably have to take her off the stamps and everything. I am British and I'm fiercely independent and I think we should be independent. I jokingly said once that the reason the banks were in trouble, particularly the Royal Bank of Scotland, was that Sean Connery had drawn out all his money in cash. I come back to England often enough not to miss it, to see the changes, to find some of the changes good. I paid my taxes at the time that I was earning a decent income, so I've already paid my due. (Asked what would make him return to the United Kingdom) Being able to afford a house in the country. I would come back like a shot. I seem to replace everyone. [what it was like working with Grace Jones on A View to a Kill (1985)] I've always said if you've nothing nice to say about someone, then you should say nothing. So I'll say nothing about Grace Jones. [after witnessing the poverty in foreign countries] I can never leave the tap running while cleaning my teeth. If I can use what celebrity I have to open doors for the betterment of children's lives, than my career in movies has produced an added bonus.

I have now been working with UNICEF for 19 years and have yet to meet a hard-headed person in the organization. Food has always been a passion of mine - see the waistline for proof. I've often been asked what I might like my epitaph to be. Well that's easy. I've no intention of going anywhere so won't need one! UNICEF is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. [on being awarded Knighthood for his charity work] I am doubly proud because this is an acknowledgment of UNICEF, an organization I am honored to work for. I loved Casino Royale (2006) and Daniel Craig . He is a wonderful actor, certainly the best actor to play Bond. I have never been guilty of method acting or even acting if you want to argue a point. Bond is an enigmatic character. My only real clue to his personality was a line from one of the books, where he said that he didn't particularly enjoy killing people, but he took pride in doing it well. So that was how I played him. [on George Lazenby ] Well, Lazenby had a big disadvantage in that he hadn't been an actor before, but he was a model.

He did look good, and that is how he came into the role. Of course, I do not regret the Bond days. I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth, I have always hated guns and what they represent. (on David Cameron ) I think he's doing absolutely wonderfully well, despite the opposition from many members of his own party. Traitors, I call them. I mean any hardliner within the Conservative Party who speaks out against their leader. You should support your leader. I do not have time to sit down and regret anything although sometimes I wish I had been able to see more of my parents while they were alive and have done more for them. (on the Russian population of Monaco) I'm afraid we're overstuffed with Russians. All the restaurant menus are in Russian now. (on Die Another Day (2002)) I thought it just went too far - and that's from me, the first Bond in space! Invisible cars and dodgy CGI footage? Please! They gave the public what they wanted, though maybe they too realised there was only so far they could push it before Bond became a caricature of himself, and the funeral directors were called in.

Of course I have great pride in being English. We were brought up with the idea that 'We are the best', which is not quite true. I'm proud to be British. I said English, but I meant British. So I did four films with MGM with my face never moving. I went on to make the Saint TV series and no-one was telling me I couldn't do this or that. I've got three expressions - left eyebrow up, right eyebrow up, both eyebrows up together. They always say that I'm the one eyebrow actor, which is true. I don't do it so much these days. I find gravity weighs things down and it's much more difficult. I wouldn't want to get into a fist fight with Sean. He's big. [on Daniel Craig playing James Bond]I think we're very lucky to have him because he is quite extraordinary. I always say that Sean Connery looked like a killer but Daniel Craig would finish it off. [on seeing Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (2006)]I thought that he did more action in the first seven minutes than I did in seven movies!

Salary (10) Roger Moore | James Bond Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia A View to a Kill Sir Roger George Moore, CBE (born October 14, 1927) is an English actor known for his suave and witty demeanor. He is known best for portraying two fictional English action heroes, Simon Templar in the television series The Saint, from 1962 to 1969 , and as Sean Connery 's successor as James Bond in the phenomenally successful film series from 1973 to 1985, and a UNICEF ambassador since 1991. Biography Roger Moore was born in Stockwell, London , the son of a policeman, he attended Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England . During World War II , he served in the entertainment branch (above luminaries such as Spike Milligan). He first appeared in films in the 1940s, as an extra, and then was a leading man, notably in television. Besides having been The Saint, many episodes of which he also directed, Moore was Ivanhoe, the noble knight, and featured as the leading man of The Persuaders!

It was for this he was paid the then unheard of sum of one million pounds for a single series, making him the highest paid television actor in the world. While filming Octopussy in India in 1983, he was shocked at the utter poverty on display, Moore has engaged in humanitarian work. His colleague Audrey Hepburn impressed him with her work for UNICEF, and consequently he became UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1991. He was the voice of "Santa" in the UNICEF cartoon "The Fly Who Loved Me." Moore was also involved in the production of an informative video for PETA that protests against the production and wholesale of foie gras. Moore narrates the video, which shows how ducks and geese are force-fed in order to appease the demand for the "delicacy." In 1999 , Moore was created a Commander of the British Empire (CBE), and a Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE) on June 14, 2003. Now in his late seventies, Moore appears only occasionally in film or television, notably an episode of the American TV series Alias, in 2002.

Moore has a daughter and two sons with Luisa Mattioli; son Geoffrey Moore also is an actor, and owns a restaurant in London . Daughter Deborah Moore made a guest appearance as a flight attendant in Die Another Day . Moore underwent major but successful surgery for prostate cancer in 1993, an event he later referred to as a life-changing experience. James Bond There are a lot of apocryphal stories as to when Moore's name was first dropped as a possible candidate for Roger Moore as James Bond 007 the mantle of James Bond. Some sources, specifically Albert R. Broccoli from his autobiography When The Snow Melts, claim that Moore was considered for Dr. No , and that he was Ian Fleming 's favorite for the role after apparently having seen Moore as Simon Templar; however, this story is often debunked by fans and Bond-film historians, who point to the fact that the series did not begin airing in the United Kingdom until October 4, 1962 —only one day before the premiere of Dr. No. Other sources, such as the insert for the special edition DVDs, claim that Moore was passed over for Bond in favour of someone who was older.

As Moore is older than Sean Connery, this is probably not true. Publicly, Moore wasn't linked to the role of 007 until 1967 , when Harry Saltzman claimed he would make a good Bond, but also displayed misgivings due to his popularity as Simon Templar. Nevertheless, Moore was finally cast as James Bond in Live and Let Die ( 1973 ). Moore's seven years as Simon Templar earned him enough popularity (and credibility) among fans of detective fiction to earn many Bond fans' acceptance, despite the inevitable comparisons to Connery, who was and is a friend of Moore. After Live and Let Die, Moore also played the suave and sophisticated agent in: Roger Moore in For Your Eyes Only his retirement from the role in 1985), and seven official films (Connery also made seven, but his last Bond film, Never Say Never Again (1983), is not part of the official EON Productions Bond series.) He is also the oldest actor to play Bond: he was 45 when he debuted and 58 when he announced his retirement on December 3, 1985.

Moore's James Bond was light-hearted, more so than any other official actor to portray the character. Connery's style, even in its lighter moments, was that of a focused, determined detective. Moore often portrayed 007 as somewhat of a playboy, with tongue firmly in cheek. The humor served Moore and his fans well through most of his Bond tenure. Fans also relished the moments when his Bond was all business, especially in the more intense parts of The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, and Octopussy (when, despite wearing a clown getup, he defuses a bomb). It is generally agreed that of the six actors to have played Bond, Moore's portrayal was the furthest removed from the character created by Ian Fleming. In a commercial for London 's 2012 Olympic bid, Moore once again suited up as James Bond. He appeared alongside Samantha Bond , who played Miss Moneypenny in the Pierce Brosnan series of Bond films.

He created the movie persona and starred in six of the first seven features, all but establishing the cool cold warrior as the world's most suave secret agent. The six titles in MGM's third collection celebrate the Connery Bond with three of his classics, including From Russia with Love, 007's second and perhaps finest outing. A blond, buff Robert Shaw plays Bond's most ruthless nemesis, and Lotte Lenya and the great Pedro Armindáriz costar in this sleek, high-energy trip through the Iron Curtain. Connery travels to the Far East in You Only Live Twice, which introduces the international criminal conspiracy SPECTRE and its cat-loving mastermind, Blofeld (Donald Pleasence). After a brief retirement, Connery returned for Diamonds Are Forever, his final "official" appearance in the Bond series (15 years later he played Bond for a rival studio's Never Say Never Again). This more tongue-in-cheek adventure takes 007 to Las Vegas, where he battles Blofeld (this time played by Charles Gray) and his minions--namely, a pair of fey, sardonic henchmen and a team of bikini-clad karate killers.

Octopussy, a colorful cold war thriller and one of Roger Moore's better Bond outings, stars Louis Jourdan as a corrupt Afghan prince and Maud Adams (making her second Bond appearance) as the ringmaster of an all-babe traveling circus team that unknowingly carries a nuclear bomb. Christopher Walken hams it up under a platinum-blond hairdo while his Amazon bodyguard, Grace Jones, growls through A View to a Kill, a silly but often visually impressive adventure that made it obvious Moore was too old and stiff to carry on the Bond legacy. The torch was passed to Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights, an attempt to clear away the camp elements of Moore's portrayal and return to a lean, hard-edged spy thriller for the post-cold war era. It lacks the larger-than-life characters and spectacle of previous Bond pictures, but Dalton was a tough, ruthless 007 and a worthy inheritor of the legacy, which was then passed on to Pierce Brosnan. The DVD editions of the films each feature audio commentary by the director and key members of the crew, "making of" documentaries, and a host of stills, TV spots, trailers, and other supplements.

(AP Images) Copy the link below By Leah Rozen | 4 years ago Roger Moore on set in England in 1972. (AP Images) Roger Moore played James Bond for laughs. Fans either laughed along or waited it out for seven films until the next 007 – it turned out to be Timothy Dalton – showed up. When he first portrayed Ian Fleming’s British super spy in 1973’s Live and Let Die, Moore became the third actor to take on the role in the official Bond series. His predecessors were Scotsman Sean Connery , who had made six films (and would return for a seventh time in 1983 for Never Say Never Again, but that was an unofficial entry in the Bond canon), and Aussie George Lazenby, whose On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) marked his only outing as Bond . (Moore’s successors as Bond include Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and the current occupant, Daniel Craig.) <noscript><iframe width="500" height="281" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> In the Bond movie universe, Moore is the proud holder of three noteworthy records: 1.

At age 45 in 1973, he was the oldest actor to take over the role. 2. At 57, he was again the oldest actor play the role in 1985’s A View To a Kill, his seventh and final Bond film. 3. With seven appearances as 007, he starred in the most official Bond films. (If one counts Never Say Never Again, despite its unofficial status, Moore and Connery are tied.) Moore was born in London in 1927, the son of a policeman. He served in the British military shortly after World War II and then studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where actress Lois Maxwell, the original Miss Moneypenny in the Bond films, was a classmate. After launching his career in reparatory theaters around the UK (“You’re not that good, so smile a lot when you come on!” Moore has said the manager at his first theater told him), he began appearing as a model in ads and as an actor in early television shows.

He headed to Hollywood in the early ‘50s, landing a contract at MGM but failing to find much success in films such as The King’s Thief (1955) and Diane (1956). Back in England, he scored with the TV series Ivanhoe (1958-59) and, ironically, played James Bond in 1964 on TV opposite British actress Millicent Martin in a guest appearance on her BBC comedy show, Mainly Millicent. <noscript><iframe width="500" height="375" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> Moore’s greatest early success came on the small screen playing suave, globetrotting adventurers in The Saint (1962-69) and The Persuaders (1971-72). (He co-starred with Tony Curtis in the latter.) Both shows were popular around the world, making him an international star.

<noscript><iframe width="500" height="375" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> <noscript><iframe width="500" height="375" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> When Bond producer Albert “Cubby” Broccoli found himself in need of a new 007, Moore was an obvious and popular choice. In many ways, he played the roles as an extension of the jaunty sophisticates, Simon Templar and Lord Brett Sinclair, whom he had played, respectively, on The Saint and Persuaders. Moore’s Bond glided through his seven films with an amused expression, a debonair attitude and an always-ready quip. There were still plenty of action scenes in the Bond films of the Moore era, but unlike most other Bonds, Moore always copped to the fact that he let stunt doubles do the major tough stuff. It was enough that he managed to shoot his weapons convincingly, given that Moore had been phobic about firearms following a childhood accident in which he was shot in the leg with a pellet gun.

Moore’s Bond films – the list, in chronological order, consists of Live and Let Die (1973), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Moonraker (1979), For Your Eyes Only (1981), Octopussy (1983) and A View to a Kill (1985) – were lucrative at the box office but mostly received middling reviews. Critics missed Connery’s harder edge and felt Moore was too jocular. Others complained that the films had become watered-down family entertainment with the characters and stories too often playing second fiddle to special effects and vroom-vroom hardware. Moore, Washington Post critic Desson Howe once complained, appeared to be “lost in a Price Club warehouse full of gadgetry and futuristic big-boy machinery.” By the time Moore made his final Bond film, A View to a Kill, it was clear that age was catching up with him. You could practically hear his knees creaking as he chased a villain up the Eiffel Tower.

Moore himself joked that he knew it was time to retire when it became embarrassingly obvious that the actresses playing the Bond girls were not just the age of his daughter but that of his granddaughter. <noscript><iframe width="500" height="281" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> In his post-Bond years, Moore appeared in movies (notably Spice World, the 1997 Spice Girls film) and TV shows (The Dream Team), traveled the world as a goodwill ambassador for Unicef and was knighted in 2003. In 2008, he wrote a memoir, My Word Is My Bond, a cheerful collection of anecdotes about his early years and show business career. These days, Moore’s acting appearances are infrequent and mostly confined to voice work. He has not completely forsaken the limelight, however, as he continues to chat up audiences during frequent one-man shows in a program called An Evening With Sir Roger Moore . Over the past weekend, in just such an appearance in Bath, he praised Daniel Craig and Skyfall, which he had seen at an early screening.

In Bond on Bond, a book that Moore recently published to coincide with the movie franchise’s golden anniversary, he wrote of Craig, “He is a wonderful actor, certainly the best actor to play Bond.” Moore has joked that, simply because of seniority, he is likely to be the first Bond to have his real life obituary printed. (Connery is nearly three years younger than Moore.) As for his legacy, Moore, ever affable, told an interviewer for Reuters a few years back, “I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or Hamlets. But as that’s not going to happen I’m quite happy I did Bond.” <noscript><iframe width="500" height="281" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> <noscript><iframe width="500" height="281" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></noscript> To mark both the 50th anniversary this month of the Bond film franchise and the opening of the 23rd film, Skyfall, due in American multiplexes on Nov.
