    He agrees with the fora if they say he's the best James Bond. :!!

    And then seriously admits Sean Being the best 007.

    Happy 84th birthday Sir Saint Roger Moore. ^:)^

    Sir Roger is a legend, a genuinely lovely man and one of the best human beings to have graced this earth. Happy birthday, good sir and may God grant you many more years.

    Happy Birthday Sir Rog. I thought it was funny when he said he be dead after 5 minutes of doing stunts in CR. :D

    "You could convey a lot with your eyebrow"

    Understatement of the century. That one eyebrow made women swoon and men clutch their chest as their hearts stopped.

    Love ya Sir Rog.

    I dislike him as Bond, but Moore is a top notch and honest man. It is cool to hear him being interviewed, because like Connery, both are very true and forward with their statements. They look comfortable and stable where others will fall. Happy B DAY Roger! =D>

    What a great guy. Even admits that Connery is Bond. I use to hate Moore as Bond but as the years go I love him even more.

    Sir Rog, is there anything you cannot do?
    Likes CR, wasn't such a fan of QOS, knows that Connery IS Bond, but also that he has a massive following and fanbase. He's always been a favourite of mine, with TSWLM being the film that started my interest in Bond and OP being my #1 Bond.
    The man is a living legend.

    Man, Sir Roger Moore is such a legend.

    In terms of playing Bond I probably prefer him the least (but do not dislike him by any means), but he brought some good things to the table. His charm has never been matched. Seeing him in interviews like this almost makes me like him better as Bond.

    What a great clip that is. Sir Roger is pretty much spot on.

    Thanks for posting @gt007.

    Thank you for posting that clip. A very enjoyable clip.

    Moore may not have been my favorite Bond, but he is my favorite person who played Bond.

    "Forums = talk things"

    After Sir Roger's comment on that, we need to rename all internet forums to 'talk things'.

    Happy 84th Birthday. To my second favourite Bond. He had great acting career. No matter if The Saint as Simon Templar,Lord Brett Sinclair or James Bond! He great actor there never be anyone like him. He played Sherlock Holmes once or Twice.

    What Sir Rog did with Bond makes me conclude that he is a genius. Sure, Conners is Conners, but nobody could do what Moore did.

    I find it funny though, that he marks that you have to have watched CR in order to understand QOS (which I find a ridiculous notion), when he himself had scenes in TSHLM and FYEO which give much insight into Bond´s privacy, yet are referring exclusively to things outside the film.

    Sir Rog's biggest fault is his modesty. What a great Bond!!! I agree with the radio host that humor in Bond is very good. He was/is a very underrated actor. When allowed to play it serious, he was marvelous. I look forward to watching him in the Lifetime TV Christmas movie coming up this year.

    With all the great deeds he has done for children all around the world through UNICEF....Sir Rog is a credit to his race....the human race.

    I don't have many problems with QOS but I do see where he is coming from to an extent. Sure, you could put the pieces together yourself by watching QOS without CR but the fast pace of the movie gives you very little time to do it. I feel like you really need to be on the ball while watching QOS. If you get lost for two minutes, you're stuck.
