R.I.P. Sir Roger "007" Moore

Another one famous actor has left the scene in silence...
My very first Bond I'd watched as a child was "Moonraker". Hell, thats very long time ago...

Huge Bond fan. Connery and Moore were it. After them, meh.
I'm sure he led a life we can only dream about.

Unhappy

Roger was my personal favorite as BOND due to my age and growing up seeing him first as 007. What a legendary character. I clearly remember watching 007 movies Sunday night on ABC! My all time favorite 007 film: MOONRAKER!
And what man didn't want to be this guy???

RIP....

Funny how contracts work. If Moore wasn't doing The Saint he would've been Bond instead of Connery. Connery got lucky.

Kinda like Tom Selleck who was first choice for Indiana Jones but he was stuck doing Magnum PI so in stepped Harrison Ford.

I have a thing for older men, thanks to him. I absolutely adore the bonds of his time.

Thanks for the epic movies sir Moore. Thank you for the moments frozen in time and the ideas you gave me.

Ha. I had a Roger Moore moment when a younger european saleswoman said to call her over because she "didn't want to be on top of me."

It truly was one of my finer moments as I made her blush...haha

Always liked Moore as Bond. For Your Eyes Only was one of my favorites.

Brosnan was ok, too.

RIP

Me, too. Watching him in the 80's means he was in his 50's then?

He will be missed, he was a great Bond. Will have to watch his Bond movies again soon.

His dry British humour is what I remember most about him in Moonraker, A view to a kill and Octopussy. Some of my favourite Bond movies.
