James Bond - Roger Moore

Description

If you noticed I'm posting the Bonds in order but backwards and I'm going now with the classic actors. Roger Moore still is one of the most famous Bond actors and did the unthinkable and give the character a major boost in popularity following the excellence of Sean Connery. Sure his films were campy but what he added to the character in terms of personality outweighed anything camp. His Bond was laid back, overconfident, charming funny and a womanizer machine. It's still a blast seeing him play the character. He even beat Connery with total films as Bond with 7 (Connery did 6)
If someone would jump over crocodiles like an expert Super Mario that's Moore, Roger Moore.

This is a great drawing; it seems to resemble a still-photograph of Moore from "Live and Let Die" (1973), his first Bond movie (and his personal second-favorite after "Spy Who Loved Me" according to his DVD commentaries). And it was in LALD that Bond did, indeed, jump across the crocodiles' backs to escape certain death. That was one of the most memorable stunts of the film.

By the way, it's not quite right that Connery only did 6 Bond movies. What happened is that he did 6 of them with the Broccoli/Saltzman production company that started the franchise back in 1962. Later on, Connery did a free-lance Bond movie called "Never Say Never Again". That movie could not use the famous gun-barrel opening scene or the great "James Bond Theme" music we all know and love. But still, it was Connery as James Bond and it was his 7th performance as that character. NSNA was not a great movie but I think it holds up better than "Octopussy" and "A View to a Kill" which were the "official" Bond-movies which came out just before and after.
