Sir Roger George Moore, KBE (born 14 October 1927) is an English actor known for his suave and witty demeanor. He is best known for portraying two fictional British action heroes, Simon Templar in the television series The Saint from 1962 to 1969, and, as Sean Connery's successor, James Bond in the successful film series from 1973 to 1985. He has been a UNICEF ambassador since 1991.

Biography

Early life

Moore was born in Stockwell, London Borough of Lambeth, the son of Lillian Pope and George Moore, a policeman. He attended Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, England. During World War II, he served in the entertainment branch (above luminaries such as Spike Milligan). There was a brief stint at RADA (the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), during which his fees were paid for by flamboyant, openly gay film director Brian Desmond Hurst, who also used Moore as an extra in his film Trottie True. He first appeared in films in the 1940s, as an extra.

Early career and The Saint

During the early 1950s, Moore worked as a male model, appearing in print advertisements for as wide a range of products as toothpaste and knitwear, something which many critics have used as typifying his lightweight credentials as an actor.
