* TheCameo: Most of his post-Film/JamesBond career in a nutshell.

* FascinatingEyebrow: He probably did it better than Creator/SeanConnery.

He passed away from cancer on 23 May 2017 at the age of 89. He is the first actor to play James Bond in the Creator/EonProductions film series to pass on. Creator/SeanConnery followed in 2020.

Born October 14, 1927 in Stockwell, London, he was the QuintessentialBritishGentleman who first dabbled in the TV series ''Series/{{Maverick}}'' as Beauregard Maverick, one of the interchangable brothers for which the series was well known for. He also headlined a version of ''Literature/{{Ivanhoe}}''. [[AsYouKnow As previously mentioned,]] his part on ''Series/TheSaint'' got him his biggest role for which many people still know him to this day:

Roger Moore's relationship with the series started with ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' and lasted until ''Film/AViewToAKill''. [[OlderThanTheyLook He was 45 when he started out]], and almost 58 when he wrapped things up, with the longest on-screen tenure in number of films to date, at seven[[note]]Creator/SeanConnery did appear as Bond in seven movies, but the seventh was ''Film/NeverSayNeverAgain'', which was not produced by EON. Creator/DanielCraig came the closest to matching the record, with ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' being his fifth and final film as Bond, although his tenure in years has already equaled Moore's and exceeded it in 2019[[/note]]. His era is known for being very light hearted, often to the point of self-parody, making him somewhat divisive among fans of the series, and it is often debated how much of the self-parody was him and how much of it was the studio.

* LargeAndInCharge: He was 6' 1½" (1,87 m), only slightly shorter than the two previous Bonds.

* TheCameo: Most of his post-Film/JamesBond career in a nuts hell.

* ''Series/{{Ivanhoe}}'': The eponymous knight

* GrandmaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave: Up until his facelift at 57, he was a stunningly handsome man.

* ''Gold''
* ''Film/TheWildGeese'': Lt. Shawn Fynn.

Unfortunately Sir Roger's affection for the role fluctuated. It seems on one hand he loved the job, but on the other hand a great deal of IAmNotSpock feedback came from him. Reportedly, "[[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings Who's the best Bond!?]]" questions tended to leave a sour taste in his mouth because it's such a BaseBreaker being him (despite, you know, Creator/GeorgeLazenby already having been there).

* ''Film/BoatTrip'' (2003)

* SharpDressedMan: So much so that all his suits for ''Series/TheSaint'', ''Series/ThePersuaders'', ''Film/JamesBond,'' and a bunch of his other films and TV series were made by his real-life tailors[[note]]he'd actually steal the suits from wardrobe after filming wrapped both because they were very nice and because some were worth more than his pre-James Bond paycheck[[/note]].
