Roger Moore gets a Star on Hollywood Boulevard

“You can see all the stars of Hollywood Boulevard.” The Kinks’ CELLULOID HEROES.

Roger Moore has joined the more than 2000 artists honored by Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The 79 year-old is best remembered for his role as James Bond, which he got thanks to his years as TV’s THE SAINT as well as Sean Connery bailing on the iconic spy movie, saying, “I hate the character so much that I’d have kill him.”

Instead he spawned five more Bonds the first being Roger Moore who always seemed very happy to be James Bond.

And so would I, except a few barriers block my path to be 0007 # 7. While my height 5-11 is fine, my brown hair and age of 55 hurt my chances, but stunt doubles could take my place for the action shots. I insist on doing my own sex scenes, although Hollywood always kept them PG and I’m far too XXX for the multiplex, however my biggest obstacle is my Boston accent. ”Miss Moneypenny, pak yer cah in Hahyad Yahd.”

No acting lessons can change that, so I have to face the grim truth.

I’ll never be James Bond, however my pseudonym in Pattaya is James and every Thai says upon hearing “James’, “James Bond.”

“Yes, agent 000.”

Not 007 like Roger Moore who did seven movie in 12 years. with a host of gorgeous co-stars.

Live and Let Die (1973)
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974)
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)
Moonraker (1979)
For Your Eyes Only (1981)
Octopussy (1983)
A View to a Kill (1985)

My favorite is FOR YOUR EYES ONLY.

Carol Bouquet as Miss Havelock.

I tried to meet her a hundred times during my years in Paris.

She traveled in different circles than a ne’er-do-well punk poet and ended up the lover of Gerard Depardieu. He never got to play in a James Bond movie, but he was lucky other ways that count.

Like Roger Moore.
