  • When Sir Roger died, I remember reading an anecdote about a man who, as a boy, saw Roger on the airport. His dad gave him a piece of paper and a pen, and he ran over to ask "James Bond" for his autograph. When the boy came back to his dad, the dad could see he was not very happy. "WHo is Roger Moore? I wanted James Bond's autograph!!" The dad went over to Roger and explained the boy's disappointment. Roger beckoned back the boy, and then told him he was on an undercover 007--mission, top-secret, so that is why he signed it as Roger Moore. YEars later, this boy became a lighting technician, and was contracted to do a UNICEF meeting of some sort. This was when Roger was at UNICEF. Everybody lined up to shake his hand. When the lighting man got his very short turn, he referred to that day, but got the impression Roger couldn't remember it. At the end of the meeting, Roger came back to him and said yes, he completed that top-secret mission, and he is glad that the boy/man "kept their secret" for so long. What a man!
  • The most humble man to ever touch Hollywood. What a legend Rest in Peace
  • Roger Moore was hands down my favorite Bond. He brought humor and coolness to the character. It was hard to accept any other actor in the part after he left.
  • Rest in peace The man who never took himself too seriously

    Sir Roger was a true gentleman. He's truly missed.
  • An incredible man....met him a few years back on one of his tours in Cornwall. Not only charming, but very quick witted. RIP Sir.
  • Roger Moore was and still is one of my favorite actors that ever lived. For years I always wanted to meet him. RIP Roger, I miss you.
  • He tells the stories with such a self-effacing charm. Like he's taken nothing personally and maintained his humor. He seems like such an affable fellow. A twinkle in his eye. I am a huge fan of his Bond. He's one of the classics.
  • Rest in peace to my favorite bond.... the best of all the James Bonds....

    Pure class and a very decent nice chap right to the end. The way he conducted himself is something modern stars have lost. Huge fan of The Saint which I still love watching today. RIP Roger
