He was by no means the best "Bond" and his string of roles were campier than I prefer, but he was the Bond of my youth and I have many good memories of watching the movies with my father.

Ugh, just heard this at work. May he RIP. Bond movies were a staple of mine in my youth, as well.

Truly a fine man who worked to help others. His part in the campaign to end iodine deficiency in the third world played a major role in its success.

It's really funny looking back how he got top billing in that movie (Cannonball Run, not 'rally') Wink . It was Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, then Roger Moore. . . Today, I bet that few people would even recognize him. It was also funny how he played a guy pretending to be James Bond (with the tricked out DB5 and a different woman in the car with him in every one of his scenes).


He was a cheesy bond, but one of my all-time favorite Bond movies was "The Man With the Golden Gun." He was really good in that, IMO (it was probably the least campy of the Moore Bond movies).

Sad news. Octopussy and Moonraker were two of my favorite Bond films.

RIP

I didn't know that he did this. Glad to hear he used his recognition for the good of fellow mankind.

I also liked him in "The Saint" series.

He was the Bond of my youth, only later in life did I come to appreciate Conery's Bond and understand that the 70/80's Bond films were gadget and gag-heavy flicks.

I'll always remember Moore for his role in ffolks and the Wild Geese.

Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Roger Moore, FN-FAL's, simple plot, good guys win, bad guy gets killed in the end.

One of my favorites.
