One of the coolest and best-looking men on TV or in the movies. I watched him as Simon Templar, “The Saint”, when I was a kid in England.

I loved him as “The Saint” but he was a terrible James Bond. He will be missed.

A sad day indeed. I remember a very young Rodger Moore as Beau Maverick, I believe cousin to Brett Maverick (James Garner).

Milhouse: Uh... can I buy this for a dollar?

Comic Book Guy: No you can not! That is a rare photograph of Sean Connery, signed by Roger Moore. It is worth one hundred and fifty dollars.

He was not my favorite James Bond ( Sean Connery is ), yet, I have to say that he was fun to watch. I will miss him.

In the real world, James Bond should have died as early as Goldfinger. These villains could have just shot him and that would have been the end of 007, but they have to device some esoteric torture machine and leave him alone to die and then give 007 the chance to escape with one of his clever gadgets !! SHEESH.

Rant aside Roger Moore remains a classy man who used his fame to good use. He was known for his generosity and philantropy. He also spoke Italian perfectly ( his former wife Luisa Mattioli is Italian ).

So very sad. The first Bond I can remember, and I watched re-runs of the The Saint as a kid. My favorite Bond was Goldfinger. He seemed a soft spoken and down to earth kind of guy off camera. RIP, Sir Roger.

He’s my mom’s favorite Bond.

I ran into him in the steak house of the Regent Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia, of all places in 2001.

My dining companion recognized him and got excited and went to his table and asked for an autograph. Moore very graciously gave her the autograph and chatted for a bit. A very nice guy and such a striking contrast to the overall nasty streak to today’s ‘stars’.

Honestly, one of my favorite Bond films was “The Spy Who Loved Me” .If course, having Barbara Bach to look at helped.

RIP Roger Moore
