Moore brought a humour to Bond that the others didn't. I liked the lighthearted aspect of his performances. (They are not true to the books, however, which are more akin to Craig's interpretation.)

And he had a whole second career as an ambassador for UNICEF working on children's issues.

My favorite Bond, too.

I like Sean Connery more as Bond.

I can't believe Roger Moore was actually that old! He and Connery were about the same age.

Moore was a good Bond---but Connery was just better.

I enjoyed Moore's portrayal of Simon Templar in the Saint reruns much more than that of Bond. As Bond, he was the victim of poor writing and too much gimmickry. Connery's my personal favorite.

While Connery and Craig are my favorite 007s, Roger Moore was the Bond I grew up with. Another piece of my youth has disappeared.
