How old was Roger Moore when he appeared in his final film playing the role of James Bond?
Sir Roger George Moore (14 October 1927 – 23 May 2017) was an English actor. He was the third actor to portray fictional British secret agent James Bond in the Eon Productions film series.
On television, Moore played the lead role of Simon Templar, the title character in the British mystery thriller series "The Saint" (1962–1969). He also had roles in American series, including Beau Maverick on the Western "Maverick" (1960–1961), in which he replaced James Garner as the lead, and a co-lead of the action-comedy "The Persuaders!" (1971–1972).
Moore starred in his final Bond film, "A View to a Kill" (1985). He was the oldest actor to have played Bond, he was 45 in "Live and Let Die", and 58 when he announced his retirement on 3 December 1985, having played the part for over 12 years. With 7 films Moore holds the record for playing Bond the most times in the Eon series but is tied with Sean Connery in number of times playing Bond when counting Connery's non-Eon appearance in "Never Say Never Again" (1983).
