Some people are destined for greatness. But Roger Moore was destined for far more. As it turns out, Moore actually made his first on-screen appearance as James Bond in a BBC comedy sketch ten years before succeeding Sean Connery in his Live and Let Die (1973) debut. And over-the-top campiness aside, there’s no denying it… the role fits like a damn glove.
Moore would go on to portray the MI6 intelligence officer for six more films across twelve years, going down in history as the longest-serving Bond actor:
- The Man with the Golden Gun
- The Spy Who Loved Me
- Moonraker
- For Your Eyes Only
- Octopussy
- A View to a Kill
