Discussion: Former James Bond Star Roger Moore Dies After Battle With Cancer

RIP Rog. You had a good long life and we enjoyed you immensely. You werenā€™t my ā€˜favoriteā€™ James Bond but you were a good one. You were a perfect Saint and a great Maverick. Thank you for everything!

What sysprog said ā€“ Iā€™ll miss Roger Moore. He also wasnā€™t my favorite Bond, but he did make one of my favorite Bond films, ā€œFor Your Eyes Only.ā€ Just shows what he could have done if he hadnā€™t been given so much ridiculous material over the years!

I remember him most for his short-lived TV series ā€œThe Persuadersā€ where he co-starred with Tony Curtis and of course for his great turn as Simon Templar in ā€œThe Saintā€ TV series.

His James Bond was played with his tongue firmly in his cheek and lots and lots of really bad puns, but was a fun way to pass the 70ā€™s (with the exception of ā€œLive and Let Dieā€, the horribly racist ā€œBlacksploytation Bondā€ film which is terrible.)
ā€œThe Man with the Golden Gunā€ was my favorite Roger Moore James Bond film.
