Hello Sir Roger,

I've always been a huge admirer of your work and consider The Spy Who Loved Me to be one of the greatest films ever made.

I recently saw a news article describing how in December 2007 you'd joined in a protest against the closure of a Cadbury's factory. I'd be interested to know what prompted you to join in the protest, and do you have a favourite Cadbury's chocolate bar?

Hi Rob

I was walking through Berkerly Square in London on my way to lunch, and the demonstrators were outside Cadbury's office there. They stopped me and asked if I'd join them in the singing of a carol. I said sure. So that's how it happened. My favourite is Bournville dark chocolate. Yum.

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Sir Roger, the life is a chain of success and failures and many opportunities. Is not easy to know about the best choice. In your long and successful career, anytime do you rejected an role in a project in the cinema or television, that you, later, repented of that decision. Of the other hand, what do you think was your best and worst choice in your work? Thanks a lot,

Dixon Moya (Bogotá, Colombia).

 

Hi Dixon

I never regret not doing anything. I sometimes regret things I did do (like The Quest), but looking back I probably wouldn't change anything as overall I've been very, very lucky.

Hi Sir Roger.  It has been a great joy watching you on screen over the years.  We all miss not seeing you more often on screen these days.  You worked with Clint Walker on 'Gold of the seven saints'. I was wondering what  your relationship was like with him and if you have kept in touch with him over the years?  Also the late Kenneth More I believe was your best man at your marriage to Luisa? I assume he was a close friend? Will you be touching on both these actors in your forthcoming bio? Many thanks,  Theo.  

Hello Theo

Yes I talk about Clint and Kenny More in my book. I wish I had more space as I had more stories but we couldn't get them all in. Clint was huge fun and made me cry with laughter on occassions - which I touch on in the book. Kenny was indeed my best man - a great friend who I miss so much.

 

 

 

 

Hello Sir Roger,
Firstly I would like to say how much I admire your acting in all your roles from Bond, The Pursuaders, The Saint, Ffolkes and even your appearance in the Spice Girls movie which I found delightful. You were very funny in that and I've loved the sense of humour you brought to Bond.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting author Raymond Benson in Houston, TX at a book signing. It was a very lovely experience and his sister and mum were there as well. He spoke very fondly of his experiences with writing the Bond novels.

My question revolves around Bond and is in three parts. If you weren't playing James Bond, which other character from any of the Bond films would you have played and why? Then, too if you could pick one of the Bond films you'd like remade, which one would it be? Then which of the novels that weren't made into a film by Ian Fleming, John Gardner or Raymond Benson would you make into a film?

Thank you for so many years of great acting and all you do for Unicef. You are a true blessing to many. Take care and God bless you always.

My Warmest Regards,
Diane VanHollebeke

Hi Diane

I've always said I'd have loved to have played a Bond villain - maybe Stromberg - as they have the best lines and great deaths! They're not on call every day like the hero is, so purely from a lazy actor's point of view, the schedule isn't so gruelling as when playing Jimmy Bond.

I don't think I'd remake any of the films. I mean, look what happened when Sean did - it wasn't that successful was it? They're all great as it is.

I'm not familiar with the continuation novels I'm afraid so can't really comment on that point.

Hi Sir Roger

I have just seen the first 23 episodes of Persuaders. I will save the last one for a special occasion. I saw them when I was a child and I remember my mother telling me that You and Tony did not come along very well and I have thought of this every time I have seen Persuaders. Is this true or is it just something the press has invented.

Hi David

No that's untrue. Tony and I got on very well during the show. We sometimes see each other to this day too. We were never very close friends, in terms of socialising all the time,but enjoyed greatly working with each other and it's 15 months of our lives that we both look back on very fondly.

 

 

Dear Sir Roger!

You are without controversy one of the most famous and successfull actors in the world. You could be seen at the side of Tony Curtis and got one of the most wanted roles of the whole world, James Bond. Parallel you acted in many interesting films like 'The Wild Geese'. Now you work for UNICEF and have another satisfying challenge. Altogether you can say that you made many, many things right in life.
This is the background for my question: What was your philisophy of life? What is the funniest anecdote of your career as actor? What goals do you set respectively what goals you want to achieve rested?

For your answer I say 'Thank You!' sincerely in advance!

Best wishes from Germany!

Stefan Westermann (23)

 

Hi Stefan

Thank you.

My philosophy is to be happy and healthy. I have to enjoy my work and so like to have fun. If you can't enjoy it, why do it?

Oh dear, there are so many anecdotes and to single out one is very difficult. I'm fortunate in that respect.

In terms of goals I'd like to achieve - the elimination of child poverty, hunger and abuse.

I'd also like to be the oldest living human!
