English actor Roger Moore is remembered as secret agent ‘James Bond’ from 1973 to 1985. He first made his appearance as ‘007’ in ‘Live and Let Die’ (1973). He has acted in seven ‘Bond’ movies including hits like ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ (1977) and ‘Moonraker’ (1979). His first major success came with his role as Sir Wilfred in the British television serial ‘Ivanhoe’ (1958 – 59). He played a lead role in the Warner Brothers movies ‘The Miracle’ and ‘The Angry Young Man’ in 1959.
His television serial ‘Persuaders’ (1971 – 1972) failed to make an impact in the USA, but it was well received in Europe and Australia. He has appeared in two comedies, ‘Sunday Lovers’ (1980) and ‘The Cannonball Run’ (1981), of which the former was a flop while the latter turned out a great success.
Roger Moor took a break from acting for five years after he left the role of James Bond and came back with the movies ‘Bed and Breakfast’ (1989), ‘The Quest’ (1997) and ‘Boat Trip’ (2002).
