Show Notes
On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley explore the life and career of Sir Roger Moore, the third big screen Bond who played 007 a record-setting seven times on screen.
A man with a legendary career deserves a legendary episode, this is the first part of a two-part special with this one covering Sir Roger's life and career up to and including the 1970s James Bond films Live and Let Die, The Man With The Golden Gun, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
You'll learn about Roger's early life and route into acting. We discuss his early roles, and Hollywood successes, and his move into television. We also chat about how he landed the role of Bond, what he thought of it, and how he ended up living in tax exile by the end of the 1970s. We also dive into Roger's movies outside of Bond.
Part 2 covers his 1980s Bond films, his life after 007, his charity work and much, much, more Moore.
James Bond will return... in next week's James Bond's A-Z Podcast.
