Roger Moore dead at 89.

One of the reasons I loved Cannonball Run so much is because of this guy. 7 times James Bond too!

RIP, another icon/hero from my youth gone.

Of the Bonds with a comedic streak I'll agree; however Daniel Craig is without a doubt the best BADASS Bond. Sean Connery of course defined the best overall bond and I'll even go so far as to say that the Timothy Dalton portrayal was pretty decent as well!

Let's not forget about The Saint! He even had a cameo in the movie.

Roger Moore: I Hate Guns
Roger Moore hates guns despite shooting to fame in the role of deadly spy James Bond.


Roger Moore never liked guns -- even James Bond's Walther PPK
Roger Moore never liked guns — even James Bond’s Walther PPK
In real life, Moore hated guns, especially the glorified men who wielded them
However, he told Reuters in 2008, he came to abhor the way the character and the films had become increasingly violent.“I am happy to have done it, but I’m sad that it has turned so violent,” he said.

(NEWSFLASH Mr. Moore. You were playing an assassin. Of course there's guns and violence)

“Of course I do not regret the Bond days,” he said. “I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands.”
“I regret that sadly heroes in general are depicted with guns in their hands, and to tell the truth I have always hated guns and what they represent.”

 

[Alpo]

Yes, he hated guns yet pimped guns to make money. Sort of a Don's Guns doppelganger.

Hollywood Ho...
He was to James Bond as George Hamilton was to Zorro.

EDITED:

Sorry Roger...RIP

Ah c'mon Actaeon. It's just a tribute to 007. We can leave his politics out of it (like we did with that Soundgarden guy)

Nope. Not me.
And I know nothing about Soundgarden.

I'd have had more respect for him, if he was just anti-gun.
Now.. it's like Liam.

My favorite movie with Moore and Lee Marvin.

 

[Leadeye]

Roger Moore's characters were the personification of class. Something that's getting scarce in movies today.

Ehh, Pierce Brosnan didn't do to bad either. But I agree with your overall analysis.

Absolutely not. But I will still miss him.

 

[Bennettjh]

That is sad. I don't know if he was my favorite or not but I did enjoy his character.

 

[edporch]

My condolences to his family and friends.
That said, though he was overall a good actor, I never cared for his portrayal of James Bond, and liked him the least of all who played him.

One word: Octo*****.

Well... his James Bond character was the personification of a very horny dude.

Agreed. Although his portrayal tended to come out a little smug.
