OHMSS secret service grate film. But wrong actor his far to much of a gentleman and could not beat up my mothers cat just my opinion. some may say that I so wrong he never got a chance. but there is a reason for that i watched OHMSS so many times and still don't see him as Bond I don't get that feeling that this man could kill this man is dangerous a feeling you get from the other Bonds. And a key element you need from a actor playing 007 licence to kill not just a man picked because he looked good in a tux. But it seems i'm alone with this opinion on here so please tell me what it is about him why is he so popular because I really do not get it
plus is lack of acting skill did not help

    He wasn't the worst choice EON has made. I quite like him in OHMSS. Yes, he's a touch wooden but it's not a bad first effort IMO.

    This is going to go over well with the mods.

    I think Lazenby was a fine choice. Given a second go, he'd be far more comfortable. But considering the con he got himself into, he held up his lie pretty damn well.

    George Lazeby didn't have any acting experience at the time & he was a model. But he gave a solid performance as James Bond. It's a shame he didn't get a chance to come back as 007 in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever.
