Plus the most kindest actor ever! Richard Kiel and Vijay said Moore was so kind and humble! We don't see this class anymore.

The fact that he could play James Bond and yet still be such a humble, polite gentleman is such a wonderful testament to Roger's character. Wish he was still with us.

He's not my favourite Bond, but he's definitely the Bond I'd most like to have a drink with off-screen. Connery was apparently nice to the fans but hated talking about his Bond days, and Craig is by all accounts (I've met his daughter's teacher, his tailor and his maid on separate occasions) a miserable bugger who doesn't like any questions about his roles or fans talking to him in general (the maid I knew served him for 2 weeks, and at the end of it asked if she could just have a quick selfie with him and was rudely declined). Can't say anything about the other three, they always seem nice enough in interviews, but- Brosnan aside- they're not exactly iconic Bond performers anyway, so for a Bond fan like myself the conversation would hardly be as interesting anyway🤷‍♂️

Wish Sir Roger Moore was still with us , I could listen to him for hours

The way Moore plays up his "dad joke" on Kiel's height as being lame himself is too good.

The thing that's always struck me about Roger Moore, in his acting and his interviews, is his smiling eyes. I would have loved to chat to him, because I'd have known that he was incredibly intelligent, but without judgement or malice in his thoughts while talking to me. Playful, but genuine. A true gent, and someone who through The Saint, The Persuaders, and Bond, gave me huge enjoyment as a young lad obsessed with tv and movies, as well as a role model to emulate in terms of being decent to others.

Fantastic film still today in 2022.

True. The novel The Spy Who Loved Me was not really a Bond novel, as he only appeared in the last couple of chapters. The movie was essentially a remake of Thunderball. Moonraker was also completely re-written. And the Moore Bond movies had a heavier comedic element than the Connery films. Still, I watched and enjoyed them all.

It has become a common view that Fleming's Bond was closer to the thuggish side of Sean Connery or even Daniel Craig. I've read all the novels and I disagree. Fleming admitted that his character was a combination of persons he knew, and a bit of himself. Roger Moore's Bond certainly errs on the Ian Fleming side of the character, and is no less genuine.

Underrated as an actor because he always downplayed his own skills. He always considered what the audience needed to know at any given moment and gave it to them with consideration for the story that needed to be told. Whether delivering lines or reacting he was usually spot on. He may have been in some dodgy stuff but he never did a lazy or poor performance of the part he was given. Class act.

He trained at RADA - he wouldn't have got in and got through without skill and range. As things turned out he wasn"t required to play a particularly wide variety of roles in his career, but I don't suppose he lost much sleep over that. As you say, what he did he did well. All best!

Ha ha, "He's never played a small part!" Priceless! 😃

My favorite Bond movie. I have a new appreciation for the wonderful Roger Moore since I am older now. I was just a child when I saw my first Bond movie with Sean Connery, so I for years, I couldn't accept a different James Bond. Now, I think Roger Moore was the quintessential Bond.

Watching Roger as Bond you could see how much he enjoyed it (especially in comparison to Sean in You Only Live Twice).

I saw the Bond Lotus Esprit at a car show in London decades ago. Iconic car. The spy who loved me is definitely the high point of Roger's Bond films. He steered it towards family friendly adventure films. The fantastic soundtracks were always an important element of the film. The music is lacking in the more recent films. They just chuck in Monty Norman's Bond theme to remind everyone it's a Bond film.
