Roger Moore mini-bio: Perhaps he will always be remembered as the guy who replaced Sean Connery in the James Bond series, arguably something he never lived down. Roger Moore was born in Stockwell, London, in 1927, the son of a policeman. He first wanted to be an artist, but got into films full time after becoming an extra in the late forties. 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. Moore went into television in the 1950s, but although hugely popular in Europe, he did not catch on in the US for awhile. From Live and Let Die (1973) to A View to a Kill (1985) he portrayed James Bond and was finally accepted by American audiences. After relinquishing his role as Bond, his work load has diminished a little.

Roger Moore has always been a competent, likable actor. He can be quite charming and quite funny and works well in light comedy and action-adventure. I personally think he is the best version of the Leslie Charteris mystery character "The Saint" ("Simon Templar") that there's ever been...making the Val Kilmer theatrical version seem utterly lame by comparison. Good also in "Ffolks", "The Sea Wolves", and his post-saint t.v. series with Tony Curtis, "The Persuaders".
He was not my own favorite version of James Bond, though he did make two good Bond movies during his tenure. "Live & Let Die" was a decent 007 flick, quite enjoyable, but Moore's pinnacle moment in the Bonds was "For Your Eyes Only", not only the best Roger Moore Bond flick, but among the best Bond flicks, period. It holds its own up there with most of the Connery vehicles (a rough row to hoe), as well as with
On Her Majesty's Secret Service", another tough nut to compete with.

I love Roger Moore in this 70's British televison series called The Avengers. He is so suited for the that part! Great comedy between him and Tony Curtis, his co-star.

Probably not the greatest James Bond of them all, but I've always liked the Mooreski.
