I was sad to hear that Roger Moore passed away. He is most known for playing Simon Templar in The Saint and, even more obviously, as James Bond in the main United Artists series.
Roger Moore's depiction of Bond was the third Bond I saw, after Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. His performance was certainly a departure from Connery's but he made Bond his own. I would say that the best film he starred in was The Spy Who Loved Me but his best performance was in For Your Eyes Only where Bond got to mentor Melina Havelock on the notion of revenge, mourn Tracy Bond and show a ruthless streak when he kicks a car off the edge of the cliff which has the villanous Locque trapped inside it.
Roger Moore was also known for his work outside of acting, becoming a Unicef ambassador and helping out with other causes. He has contributed a lot and will be missed.
