FLY2 10,109 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 So sad. A fine and often underrated actor who will be very sadly missed. My favourite Bond actor without a shadow of a doubt ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 "Nobody lives forever, Mr Bond". Presumably his funeral will be at Bramcote crem, near where he lived. Hippo will see him off. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Well my, my. I wondered how long it'd be before someone regurgitated this. I wasn't disappointed ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,640 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 RIP Sir Roger Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,519 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yes RIP, but I didn't rate him really as an actor, Sean Connery was a far better Bond in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 RIP. He certainly wasn't the greatest actor, and I always thought he was better in this. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 There was always a comical and tongue in cheek side to his acting, which was very amusing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 RIP Roger. More Bond films than anyone else and the highest grossing would you believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,332 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I remember first seeing him in Ivanhoe and then The Saint. Despite all his film roles his lasting legacy should be his work for UNICEF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 The good thing was, he never took himself too seriously. Most actors think that they are the be all and end all, when in fact, they definitely aren't. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 In the 60s/70s, I used to spend a lot of time knitting and there were plenty of patterns still around with Roger Moore as the model. Sirdar being the one I remember mostly, but there were many more. https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A9mSs2q8wyRZSjEArR5LBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTBybDA1bGNhBGNvbG8DaXIyBHBvcwMyBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--?p=knitting+patterns+roger+moore+model&fr=mcafee#id=34&iurl=http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-9bXjE7Yts7M%2FUV1svJUckfI%2FAAAAAAAAGyo%2FBycEf6QjZ0s%2Fs640%2Fretro%2Bknitwear%2Bvintage%2Bwoolen%2Bkitsch%2Bman.jpg&action=click 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 #12, Ben, did he want it shaken or stirred? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,332 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Apparently as James Bond, Roger Moore never uttered those immortal words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ If Ben served him he got it 'patted' just like everyone else. Mind you Ben would also have given him some dress advice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,488 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 The one I always remember as being in every film was Michael Ripper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
