    "Not many moviegoers realize this, but during the pre-production of 1978's Superman, director Richard Donner had cast George Lazenby in the integral part of Jor-El. The acclaimed thespian actor Marlon Brando only took over the role once George officially dropped out of the film, a decision he arrived at after his agent warned him 'this whole Superman thing will never take off.'"

    "George Lazenby had tried for months on end to keep his casting as Jor-El in the Superman reboot quiet, but failed miserably. After leaving set one day, he was swamped by dozens of film journalists who had been waiting outside to see what project he was working on. As he saw the crowd awaiting him, George quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of glasses just as cameras started snapping away, fully believing that they hid his identity from the media."

    Media journalist: "George Lazenby! What film is it that you have been working on? The rumors are buzzing and we're all itching for a scoop."

    George: "George who? Sorry darling, but I must confess that I have never heard of the bloke before. Though I will admit I am overwhelmingly flattered by this instance of mistaken identity. Now, if you all don't mind, I'm off to work yet another shift at the Daily Planet!"

    It is not an S. In my world it stands for "Beer".

    George did his best when he auditioned for the Emmanuelle film. He tried to hide his shy nature, 007 past, and natural modesty. He decided to just be upfront about everything. Wearing a costume that begged the question, "What's the 'S' for, George?" he danced around the producers and director to the song, "I'm too Sexy (for my Shirt)" while stripping to an S shaped thong - and was immediately hired.

    It wasn't a bad photo, @WilyGalore, just a bit tougher to come up with something really funny. Challenges are nice to have once in a while. :)

    I'm just going to include my own little cap hehe. ;)

    George Lazenby in the prequel to Taffin. "MAYBE YOU SHOULD BE LIVING HERRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

    That's a fantastic photo @Murdock.

    George would soon regret suggesting he could catch that bullet between his teeth...

    George made his feelings quite clear when a member of the crew asked to borrow his Best of Paul Hogan DVD Collection.

    George thought his moustache made him look quite distinguished...until someone held up a mirror.

    It was at this point, where George realised that he shouldn't have eaten that Mutton Vindaloo with exxxtra hot Madras Sauce for lunch.

    Geez, these are already so hilarious! Great work, guys ... I am coming up blank just yet. Okay here is what I first thought of:

    George's unusual and unforgettable warm up routine took everyone by surprise as he began by belting out, "The Hills Are Alive... with the Sound of Music!" - yes, the Julie Andrews musical. No one who witnessed this could ever watch that movie again without vivid flashbacks to George singing, complete with numerous turns as he emulated Julie on that mountaintop.

    George was taking the news that Roger Moore had been cast as Inspector Clouseau, very well indeed.

    The old 'tack on the seat' gag still worked, much to George's anger.

    George wasn't a happy camper when he found out he'd lost the part of Magnum P.I. to Tom Selleck: "Tom WHO?! Get him over here and we'll wrestle to see who has the better mustache!!"

    OR

    The itching powder worked extremely well when sprinkled in George's underwear. It got a better rise out of him than Ms. Rigg had hoped for, actually.

    (That was the only kind of rise she wanted from him anyway.) ;)

    George was about to attempt a complex backflip, that was until a particularly menacing moth fluttered into his view.
  • George was just in the middle of demonstrating a ballet-infused kata he had developed when he stepped on a tack someone had left in the middle of the dojo.

    It's a little known fact that George Lazenby was actually the understudy for Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond-Gustav Graves sword fight in Die Another Day, as this photo attests.
