Roger Moore

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 British 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.

James Bond

In the early 1960s, Roger Moore was one of the actors first considered for the James Bond role, but his television commitments?The Saint and The Persuaders?prevented him from assuming the role until 1971, when he was signed to play James Bond, secret agent 007, in: Live and Let Die (1973). He would again play the suave and sophisticated agent in 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).

To date, Sir Roger Moore is the longest-serving James Bond actor at fifteen years (from when he was signed in 1971, to 1986 when Timothy Dalton was then signed to the part), and seven official films (Sean Connery also made seven but his last Bond film Never Say Never Again, 1983 is not part of the official EON Productions Bond series). Moore's James Bond was light-hearted, more so than any of the other four James Bond actors.
