Sir Roger Moore has added his voice to the international
appeal for aid to help the people of Asia. Sir Roger says people
should not forget the plight of tsunami victims.
Dear Sir Roger, Firstly, may I say a belated thank you for the personalised autograph you did for me towards the end of 2004 - this was kindly arranged for me by Geoffrey after a friend of mine, who works with him at Hush, requested it as a birthday present for me. Since receiving that autograph, I have become quite an avid collector of autographs and memorabilia from the Bond films (most notably your era) and with my hobby well known at my place of work, I was recently approached by a new colleague who said he used to know you! His name his Steve Crawford, and his father, Les, used to be one of the stuntmen who worked with you in a number of Bond films and episodes of The Saint (as well as other productions). He even married Joie Vejjajiva after meeting her in the filming of TMWTGG! Les is unfortanately now wheelchair boud, but Steve recalls visits to your house in Denham, as well as trips to the sets during filming and playing with Debroah, Christian and Geoffrey. My question to you is which was the most daring stunt which you performed yourself as James Bond? With my best regards,
Hi Andy Do give my best to Les. I tried ever so hard not to do any stunts if I could help it! It wasn't what you'd necessarily call daring, but I certainly remember it as the most painful ... the scene in The Spy Who Loved Me when Bond confronts Stromberg at the end, and is about to kill him. As you may recall, Stromberg had a gun underneath the table pointed at the chair opposite. I was to stand behind the chair and dive out of the way as he shot, blowing the chair up, before leaping up and shooting him. I was talking to the director Lewis Gilbert and suggested it would add a bit more tension if I was to sit in the chair, rather than stand behind it. So I did. Lewis called action ... and an over-anxious special effects guy meanwhile pressed the button to 'explode' the chair just before I'd actually left it. Smoke poured from my rear end as I rolled about on the floor in pain. I paid many a visit to the studio nurse to have my wound attended too and decided there and then that I was to remain a coward forever more!
Dear Sir Roger, I sincerely hope you are very well. My question is: I was just surprised because in your telephone conversation
with Virgin Radio’s Christian O’Connell you mentioned
you are a member of the American Academy. Does this mean you are
a member of what I believe is called “The Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences”? In my I never heard of that before. If so they certainly
picked someone with great taste. Sorry that is actually one topic containing a few questions… Thank you very much and kindest regards from Martin
Yes I am a member of the American Academy. It is something that you are invited to join, and one votes in one's own specific category - ie acting.
Around November time each year I start receiving DVDs from Hollywood, and spend the next couple of months watching them in the afternoons.
As I don't get chance to visit the cinema too often (just twice last year) it gives me the opportunity to see many of the year's movies from the comfort of my armchair.
It's difficult to say really how I award my vote - suffice to say every year there is one performance that I feel stands out from the rest, and that clinches it for me.
Dear Sir Roger, I hope you have fun in answering my question for
this month: having appeared in over hundreds of TV episodes and
movies, you are blessed to have the opportunity to embrace and
kiss many, many…um… only if you can remember…
the most beautiful and glamorous ladies and girls in the film
world. (Occasionally you would smack their bottoms! Please forgive
me.) I believe the ladies Thank you and best regards, Hello Hong Kissing on set is about as unromantic as you can possibly imagine.
Sometimes you find that your
first scene with your co-star involves a kiss, and Imagine kissing your partner under those conditions! Of course, being the great actor I am I never let it phase me - though must add that it is strictly work, and not enjoyable (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). In the scean from The Persuader Valerie Leon played an out-of-work actress who drove around promoting soap in a space rocket. Roger Moore gave me a memorable unscripted Kiss ! So who says its not fun Roger :-)
Dear Sir Roger, like so many others I grew up watching all the Bond films on TV. You've always been my favourite and I can vouch for many others too. My favourite Bond's you were in are "The Spy Who Loved Me", "For Your Eyes Only" and "Octopussy". My favourite non Bond film you were in is "The Wild Geese". I am also a big fan of Christopher Lee and I was wondering what it was like for you to work with him? Did you guys get along well or are you still friends? And did you enjoy the film you did together? David Kelly Hi David Yes Christopher and I are
old friends and got along well. We first worked together on Trottie
True in the dark ages, and then later in Ivanhoe before Bond came
along.
I must admit I did wind him up a bit - you'll be surprised to hear - but he has a great sense of humour and was great fun. One of the things I'd do to him on the Bond movie, just as they shout 'roll-em' a few seconds before the director called 'action', was to lean over and say "Go on Chris, do that thing, make your eyes go red"
Mind you he played a Dracula gag too when we entered the cave that was on Scaramanga's island base. A whole load of bats flew out and Christopher held up his hand and said 'not now Stanislav' he then looked at me and said 'you'll use that against me won't you?'. Of course I did!
Hello Sir Roger, I was wondering what your favourite sports are, both in terms of watching and participating. Do you ski very much in Crans Montana? I am a Formula One fan (as well as a Roger Moore fan!). Do you watch the Grand Prix in Monaco? I remember being there in 1983 and you were being driven around the circuit just before the race. I hope you and your family are well and thank you for this opportnity to ask questions. Rob Merrett Hi Rob I'm not a massive sports fan, but have enjoyed watching some of the winter olympics recently. Winter sports I like. I haven't skiied this year myself yet, but enjoy watching it.
And yes, you can hardly miss the Grand Prix in Monaco! I do get invited along to watch, and if I'm about will do but this year I shall be away in Norway at that time. .
space. I also applaud ou're going above and beyond to keep in touch with your fanbase via the web. Marvelous tool, the Internet. Onto my question. If you could have worked with any deceased actor, who would it have been and why? Also, an idea I wanted to offer you; forgive my using this forum. There's a show on American network television called "Dinner for Five" hosted by an actor named Jon Favreau. Basically, he gathers 4 actor-friends for dinner. Over good food and wine, they discuss movie-making, their xperiences working as actors, honest impressions about Hollywood, etc. The show's a great oncept and is popular with fans. Lawrence of Arebia is Roger's favourit film ! What an incredible event that
would be for the history of James Bond heritage, an alumni event.
Messrs. Connery, Lazenby, yourself, Dalton, and Brosnan - together for a dinner and discuss your experiences: interpretations of the role, actor's preparation, handling the fame, career impacts, hopes for the future, etc. etc. I think it'd be an overwhelming success. I know it's only a pipe-dream, but I thought I'd put it out there. Plus, you might ruffle Woody Allen's feathers if you didn't invite him to contribute his own, unique mpression as a Bond-parody. Cheers and good luck with all your good works, Sncrly Yrs, David Lean Goodness Ted, that's an unusual
question. You know, I don't think I can really answer it. I've been very fortunate in meeting and working with several of my childhood heroes, who have since passed on - David Niven and Stewart Granger being two. In terms of film-makers, I'd have loved to have worked for David Lean. What a master of the craft he was. Thank you to Sir Roger Moore |
simpler
words: A juror for the Oscars? Oh, I am deeply impressed! One
can't help but feeling very proud of you… How did that come
about, if I may ask? Do they send you DVDs of movies, you watch
them and ultimately cast your vote as to who should get which
Oscar? 
and
girls must be delighted! May I ask: is the embracing and kissing
in front of a camera always as easy and breathtaking as we see
on screen? Did you ever feel uncomfortable when many people around
on the set were staring at you or were you an expert on this side
of acting? It must be very difficult to be very professional on
one hand and to be convincing on the other. 
when
you haven't met them until that day, it can feel a little awkward.
But add to it 40 hairy-bummed guys in the rafters, the camera
crew, carpenters, painters ... and you have about 70 sets of eyes
staring at you, under the brightest lights possible. 
Dear
Mr. Moore - I'm new to this site,
but I'm pleased to see find you have a presence in cyber-
Gather all of the Bonds -  |
