Rest in Peace: Sir Roger Moore

default-featured-image

It is with a very heavy heart that I write about the passing of Sir Roger Moore, who has died at the age of 89 due to cancer. His family posted the below message on Twitter.

Moore began acting in the mid-40’s with a series of uncredited roles. From there, he was a regular face in cinema and television, with roles in “Ivanhoe,” “Maverick,” “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” Vendetta for the Saint, “The Saint.” and more. But it was 1973’s Live and Let Die where he took on the role of British spy James Bond that cemented his name in film history. He played the role of Bond for seven films, the final being 1985’s A View to a Kill.

Prior to playing Bond, Moore took on the role of Harold Pelham in the thriller The Man Who Haunted Himself, which follows Moore as he encounters a doppelgänger of himself after a car accident. Moore was recently a voice in the upcoming animated film “Troll Hunters,” which is not related to Guillermo del Toro’s animated series.

We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family members during this sad time.
