Exactly and he had fun as bond and never took himself seriously! Never heard a bad word either, a good guy and dedicated all that time to unicef. Shoulda gone on forever

When I think Bond, Moore's face comes to mind. Moonraker was my first 007 flick.

Him and Craig are my favourites, although I very much like Connery, too.

Had a good, long life, but it's still sad. Have never heard a bad word spoken about Roger.

I grew up watching Roger Moore 007 movies and his TV show the Persuaders (with Tony Curtis).
R.I.P. Sir Roger Moore !!!

The music of the opening theme of The Persuaders from the great John Barry is one of the best ever !!!

Died after another battle with cancer. Grew up with his Bond films, a sad day

Honestly, he was second favorite Bond after Connery......Sean recommended him as his successor in the early 70's Bond....obviously, these two were friends......"The Saint" was Epic in its time too....PIP, Moore, the Ultimate Pussy Slayer.

A sad day.

Like many in this thread, I grew up with Roger.

While I am a big fan of the franchise and Sean Connery, Moore was my James Bond.

Definitely need a Moore Bond marathon.

RIP, Roger.

Wow...the U.K. is getting hit hard this week! Definitely a "RIP" worthy chap if ever there was one.

Sean Connery is sitting in his fine leather recliner, silk robed of course and sipping on his finest brandy, thinking "I out lived all the bahshtads!"

Richard Kiel (Jaws) was the best henchman, and Roger Moore was the best Bond. Will have a James Bond movie marathon on the weekend in honor of both of them.

Great idea. I believe that Jaws was the only "return" villain in the series because of his popularity with the audience.

Yea that's right, was my favourite henchman/villain. As a kid I could never get over how tall this guy was,
Making the not short roger moore look tiny.

I rarely post, well because I have nothing to say and nothing of worth to contribute to anyone anywhere on this planet. But even my sorry self-hate must be set aside to salute the man who is 007 to me and my ilk and always will be. Sir Roger Moore - you were a titan. You are now one of God's lions. Thank you for allowing even a piece of shit like me to forget and fantasize every couple years on those rare occasions when courage needed to take public transport all the way to the Century 12 was summoned from the deep like oil from the wells.

Spy Who Loved Me was ok. Live and Let Die was the one I remember when I was a lad. Thought it was amazing. Now, seen as cartoony. Thank you for your UN contributions, Sir Roger.
