I never quite settled on my favorite Bond. They all had their unique charm. RIP Roger!

If anything, Roger was the 'cheekiest' of the Bond actors, but those films were pretty campy as well. It's hard to watch his movies with a straight face, and that's not a criticism.

Yes, I get your drift. That's just about how I'd classify Roger and his Bond films. They were cool in their own way...and very campy.

We know that the stuntmen made James Bond (especially Moore), but the ski scene opening "The Spy Who Loved Me" is a definite "LOL"

Because I am older than you members I remember Roger as Simon Templar in the Saint saw a lot of those, he certainly had that cheeky look gave me a lot of enjoyment.
