You can ask Sir Roger Moore a question this month HERE !
All material
on this page must not to reproduced anywhere else with out permission.
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 Thank you for answering one of my previous questions. Yesterday I bought one of those Make Poverty History bands/bracelets and signed a petition to urge governments to do more to eradicate poverty. My question to you this month is... How is the Make Poverty History campaign going?
I wish it every success as with all the campaigns UNICEF has and all that you are involved in. Sincerely a fan forever Hi Noel Well actually UNICEF are not involved in the Make Poverty History campaign from an organisational or administration point of view, so they can't update me on how it's all going. They did say if you log on to www.makepovertyhistory.org then it will give you the latest news and developments.
It's a terrific organisation and I believe they have made, and continue to make a difference.
Dear Sir Roger, It's an honour for me to have the opportunity to ask you a question about your career through this forum. I'm a French manager from Montreal who missed the opportunity to meet you while you were in Quebec City, last February (as you were in mission for the benefit of UNICEF). It's too bad I couldn't be there. I hope you enjoyed the experience and will come back in a near future. It's a strange coincidence that Simon Templar, Brett Sinclair and James Bond all three happened to be among my favorite characters during my youth. Maybe the stylish actor who played them had something to do with that. So here's my question (which is not an easy one, I must admit it). What would you consider to be your greatest asset as an artist, the most valuable or distinctive quality that will have allowed you to make such a successful career? Thanks for reading my question and keep on the good
work with UNICEF!
Bonjour Eric
My greatest assets as an artist? Bundles of talent, charisma, devastatingly good looks ... and modesty. No, I think my greatest asset is having luck on my side. I've never thought of myself of a great actor, but the roles I have had most success with have fortunately been ones I could slip into - I guess they were characters I could easily identify with and not have to go through the process of acting to play them!
It really does all boil down to luck though. I have made good decisions and bad decisions, but fortunately the good ones have outweighed the bad ones. I'm very grateful.
Dear Sir Roger, July 2006 celebrates the two year anniversary of the beginning of the “Q&A” section on your official websites. In these two years you have answered 144 questions (some containing multiple questions). The questions usually cover a broad range and long time-span of your career and personal life; however, your answers are always insightful, detailed, sincere and interesting. Your views on certain social issues, your outlook on life and your faith in UNICEF are very inspiring. It’s absolutely incredible considering your status and your busy schedule with UNICEF and other commitments. We are truly honoured. Now, Sir Roger, would you like to share with us your thoughts and feelings about this unique way of communicating with your fans? Are you amazed by the knowledge and enthusiasm shown by your fans regarding your career and activities? Is there any challenge at all in your part in preparing your answers? Please accept our love and thanks from the bottom
of our hearts.
Well, what can I say? If you keep asking questions and writing to me, then I'll try to keep answering them. I hope you don't get bored.
I've always received mail, and tried to answer questions of me but the internet has made things so much easier; as I can now communicate with all my fans - all 4 of you - in one foul swoop. So I think it works tremendous well by having a Q&A like this on the internet.
I do get some odd things pop up on the internet ... if you'd believe half the rumours about me owning property, for instance, in Leicester, Nottingham, North Wales, Swanage, London, Yorkshire, Scotland and on the Italian Riviera then I'd be an extremely rich man. Alas, I do not. So things like this also allows me to correct a few facts too.
You lot seem to know a great deal about me and my career, and yet I know so little about you. Perhaps that should worry me!
Keep writing, you make an old actor feel wanted.
Dear Sir Roger, I am a lifelong fan of your work. In fact when I
was a kid the only way my parents could keep me quiet was to put
one of your Bond movies on! When was the last time you went to Stockwell? I only ask as I stood for election there in the 90's for the Council and part of my campaign was to get a plaque put up in Albert Square where you grew up! Regrettably I didn't win! Many locals were surprised that thats where you were born and bred. Best Wishes Sir and thanks for the hours of enjoyment you have given us down the years Shane
I think the last time I was in Stockwell was a couple of years back, driving through on the way to Gatwick airport. Much has changed quite dramatically since I lived there - it's got posh for one thing!
I have many fond memories of my childhood there, and of all my friends and cousins. I hope you have fond memories of the area too.
Dir Sir Roger, I sincerely hope you are not baking half as much as we do here in Vienna. 38 degrees…. I think during the Oscar presentation 1973 you had
your own bizarre experience when Marlon Brando, who you were to
present the Oscar to, did not show up but sent an Indian girl
instead. However my question refers to another incident which I believe took place at the same ceremony. Was it not that year when a naked man ran across the stage while the wonderful David Niven was about to make his Oscar presentation? And I think David reacted in such a wonderful spontaneous way saying: "Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was bound to happen. But isn't it fascinating to think that the only laugh that man will probably ever get in his life was when he stripped off to show his shortcomings." I wonder if you noticed anything about that incident. Or did David mention anything about his thoughts when it occurred? He must have been quite surprised… Thank you very much and kindest regards
Hi Martin
Yes, it's been jolly hot in Monaco ... but I won't ask for sympathy!
Indeed I do recall David and the streaker. The thing about Niv was that he was a fast thinker and would always have a great repost ready. This is one of those occassions where it could have gone pretty badly, but Niv lifted it up and so effortlessly carried on with the show. He was of course rather surprised to say the least - and I'm sure if you seen a naked man running at you, you might feel a little unsure as to what's happening. Well, either that or it's your lucky night I guess.
I think Niv modified the story - as he always did - later in life and made it sound more outrageous than it was. But that was Niv - he told the most ridiculous stories that were more often than not made up, or borrowed from someone else, but he was so adamant that they were true.
Dear Sir Roger, I remember when I listened a interview
from a Colombian radio program, which communicated you with your
friend Michel Caine, the great and brilliant actor. I wish to
know about the history of this friendship, when you met with Mr.
Caine, and the possibility of acting together again on a movie.
Thanks a lot. .
Hello Dixon
I first tripped over Mr Micklewhite
back in the early 60s when I saw him in a tv play. I was playing
The Saint at that time. The next morning I was out in London and
saw him, with his flatmate Terence Stamp, walking down the street.
So I stopped him and said how good I thought he was on the show
the previous evening. "F**k me" he said (ever the crude
cockney) "you're Roger Moore". I now make him call me Sir Roger Moore, but otherwise the greeting remains the same.
We soon became friends, socially, and as Michael climbed the ladder of success we found our paths crossed even more regularly. We'd always hoped to work together, but it wasn't until Mr Winner suggested BULLSEYE in the late 1980s that we got the chance.
We remain good friends and meet up regularly. It would be nice to work together again - I'm available!
Go to UNICEF in your country Thank you to Sir Roger Moore |
