Roger Moore

Roger Moore's good looks, charm, and wit made him a natural for stardom. A worldwide star before being cast as Bond, Moore's easy sense of grace and savoir-faire brought the cinematic 007 unparalleled success in the 1970s and 80s. A real life tough guy who performed all his fist fights himself, without aid of lookalike stuntmen or sped-ups. He once beat up legendary Lee Marvin while they were filming Shout at the devil (1976). Marvin recalled, "The guy is built like granite. Nobody will ever underestimate him again." By the time Moore retired from the role of James Bond in 1985, he had redefined the character of Bond and brought in over one billion dollars in worldwide box office.

By the time I'm out the door,
You tear men down like Roger Moore
