No, he wasn't as good a Bond as Connery. But I still liked him.

He was one of my favorite Bonds and had some other good roles.

If he had died a day or two earlier...wall to wall media coverage. With the Manchester Jihad...back page mentions.

Aw, no. I really liked Roger Moore; he was the second best James Bond.
Rest in Peace.

Just like CS Lewis who died 11/22/1963

An interview he gave did point out something..
Those bond films were successes. All of them. And his Bond (as well as Connery) weren’t fighting heros and action stars. It had a formula that wouldn’t work today.

Moore was in "The Man With The Golden Gun", wasn't he? I mostly remember Britt Eklund in a bikini in that one. As you say, Moore was no Connery or Craig, but he did seem the epitome of what I thought an English gentleman should look like when I was a kid. RIP.

No, he wasn't as good a Bond as Connery. But I still liked him. I always thought he lacked the dangerous quality required of a good Bond. Moore was more fitted for Simon Templar than 007. One thing I really like him in was a one-season show he did with Tony Curtis called The Persuaders!, in which the two play wealthy adventurers in 1970's Europe with exotic locales and fast expensive cars.

But first, he was “The Saint.”
To: Vermont Lt
Exactly, Simon Templar in The Saint and the Lord Brett Sinclair in the Persuaders were his best roles. But he kept the Bond saga alive and well for a quite a few years.
RIP
