SIR ROGER MOORE , WE WILL MISS YOU!! Sir Roger Moore passed away this week, prompting a flood of fond commemorations from fans and friends around the world.Moore was best known for being the third big-screen James Bond; he played the character longer than any other big-screen Bond (12 years), and tied with Sean Connery for playing the spy in the greatest number of films (seven). And as Vox’s Aja Romano put it, Moore’s Bond was a secret comedic genius:The strength of Moore’s Bond is that he seems to be a fully self-aware, good-humored participant in all of this implausible mayhem. “Bond really wasn’t a spy — because everybody knew him,” Moore joked in a delightful 2015 appearance on Loose Women. It takes a great comedian to pull off the role of straight man; Moore played the wry straight man to his own bombastically over-the-top series.
