The James Bond of my childhood. He was great in Cannonball Run, too.

An underappreciated Bond, IMO. RIP.

I liked him from his first time as a matinee idol in The Saint but he made James Bond into a cartoon character.

Always like him as Bond in my younger years, but he did make the character more comical than serious.

Ditto, and I haven't thought about Cannonball Run in years. May have to do a search on Netflix.

The best Bond hands down for me. Not to mention his tongue in cheek humor.

I'm torn between Roger Moore and Sean Connery. I think Roger Moore comes to mind first when I think Bond. RIP.

I grew up with Roger Moore as The Saint, Simon Templar and that was my favourite of his characters.
He had a Penthouse in my town and on the train to school one morning I spotted him in a first class compartment. I plucked up the courage to slide the door open and ask for his autograph in the back of one of my school books.

I loved Roger Moore as Bond, the fun aspect of it with the cool gadgets and rides was great. Loved his white Lotus
He is the Bond i grew up with as well though Sean Connery was awesome too in a different way.
I watched the Saint as well and loved that show, he was great in it.
He was good in the Persuaders as well along side Tony Curtis though that series didn't last long. Was a fun show too with action and their two cool cars.
