The third actor to play the James Bond character, he was the Bond of the 70s.   Goodnight, 007.

RIP Sir Roger

Dude took the role and made it is own.   It was cheezy at times, and Moonraker is when the series jumped the shark, but for a kid growing up in the 1970s, Roger Moore was James Bond and a total bad ass.

Live and let die

He was also a Saint. RIP.

The best Bond IMO. A certain je ne sais quoi. 

When I was 11 I met him and flew in his personal helicopter from Boca Raton to Fort Lauderdale and back as he was closing on a house that was being built for him. I threw a little rock out of a little window as we flew over the ocean.

Awww   sad. Saw some of his in the theater.  Bond. Vs. Jaws was good stuff.

Played Bond more times than anyone. RIP Roger

"I'll have a martini please. Shaken not stirred."

From the article above "learned his trademark kissing technique from Lana Turner". What a teacher!

And a Maverick (Beau).

Yeah he was good on Maverick.  But He will always be the Saint to me.   Sean Connery will always be James Bond.

He did a good job as Roger Moore in Cannonball Run.  He introduces himself in the trailer below (at about 1:50 if you don't wanna watch the whole thing).

Live n Let Die!

Best Bond 

When I was in Jamaica a few years ago, my brother took me golfing at some country club in Montego Bay where the scene of the zombie rising from the lake with a waterfall was filmed for Live And Let Die.  There was a house along a fairway on the same course that had once belonged to Johnny Cash, who had hosted Jimmy Carter there while he was the incumbent president.  It was a trip to zoom around those spots in a golf cart!

I also really liked The Man With The Golden Gun.  As a little kid, I got to take a trip across the Atlantic on the Queen Elizabeth II, which was used as the secret OSS headquarters in that movie after it had partially sunk in Tokyo Bay (although the film is set in Hong Kong).
