Sean Connery
Sean Connery's last big role was in 2003, when he starred in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In 2003, he announced that he would withdraw from the film business. One of the true Hollywood greats! Connery passed away on October 31, 2020. May he rest in peace.

George Lazenby
George Lazenby had the great honor of playing "James Bond" exactly once. He starred in the 1969 installment On Her Majesty's Secret Service. This was partly due to tensions that arose between the actor and the director of the film, but also because the reviews were quite bad and many critics did not think Lazenby to be a good enough actor.

Diana Rigg and George Lazenby
Lazenby was simply no match for Connery's portrayal of "007" and the fans did not really like him either. He did not manage to get a big career going after his appearance in On Her Majesty's Secret Service - he was featured only in a couple smaller TV and film productions.

Roger Moore and Jane Seymour
With the handsome Roger Moore, the producers eventually found a worthy successor to Sean Connery's "James Bond". The 1973 hit Live And Let Die was Moore's first appearance as "007" and he became an instant fan favorite!
