Actor: Roger Moore

Roger Moore played James Bond seven times, more than anyone, across twelve years, and took the character in a lighter direction that has been both criticised and increasingly defended.

He was fifty-eight in A View to a Kill and has been the first to point out that he was too old, and that his stunt doubles deserved most of the credit.

The Saint and The Persuaders preceded Bond, and he was a UNICEF ambassador for decades, work he considered considerably more important than the films.
