A Hero’s Stuff

Not a Saint, nor a Lord with blue blood, and even less a violent man. He played the justicier, revolver to the fist, he browsed the globe, but inside looking for his own quest, and writing his own novel, the narration of a life well but sometimes  full of pain. There are the paradoxes of the talent, the faith and the luck. A script built custom-made, like his impeccable costumes, for Roger Moore, one of the actors the most  underestimated of his generation. Often excessively badly employed and yet so inescapable, and so brilliant.

Blinded by the charm and the humor of this justicier, I should have waited until to be 34 years old to find the truth beyond the appearance, and to be far from the agitations of adolescence to give a true tribute to this sensitive and intelligent man. In 1991 he decided  to give a new dimension and a new sense to his man's life becoming involved by the UNICEF as goodwill Ambassador. 

 He is  accomplishing this mission with the class and the intelligence that characterize his personality. 

 With Alan also an sincere admirer of Roger I wish to share the wealth of the one that will remain known mostly surely but wrongly as the third 007 in the history of the movies.

Prosaic, realist, materialistic, this Roger has since caressed the unbridle lightness of being.  “ES muss sein,” said Wagner to his hero. His destiny is here, even though life is elsewhere. Rather call it Moore, Roger Moore.
