He will be remembered by most as the iconic character James Bond in a total of 7 films.&nbsp;<br /><br />He was the son of a London police officer, born on 14 October 1927 and was one of many to be evacuated during the Second World War.&nbsp;<br /><br />Moore started his acting career during his time at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, appearing in Brian Hurst's Trottie True and in 1954 signed up to MGM. He started acting in telelvision in the late 50s, starring in such hit shows as Ivanhoe, Maverick, The Persuaders and (most notably) The Saint. The latter role gave way for his acting style for the part of James Bond, which he took up in 1973. During his tenure as Agent 007 he performed with other famous actors including Richard Kiel, Lois Maxwell and Christopher Lee; all of whom he considered very close friends.&nbsp;<br /><br />In 1999 he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire for his charity work with UNICEF and was later given a star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame.&nbsp;<br /><br />Sir Roger Moore will be forever remembered,<br /><br />Our thoughts are with his family and friends.&nbsp;<br /><br />Rest in Peace<br /><br />--<br /><br />&#8203;The 007 Bond Team<br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[CHRISTOPH WALTZ MAY BE SIGNED ON FOR BOND 25﻿]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://www.the007bond.com/news/christoph-waltz-may-be-signed-on-for-bond-25]]></link><comments><![CDATA[https://www.the007bond.com/news/christoph-waltz-may-be-signed-on-for-bond-25#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jan 2016 19:59:06 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[BOND 25]]></category><category><![CDATA[rumours]]></category><category><![CDATA[SPECTRE (2015)]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.the007bond.com/news/christoph-waltz-may-be-signed-on-for-bond-25</guid><description><![CDATA[According to a recent report, Christoph Waltz who appeared as the villainous Blofeld in last year's SPECTRE may have signed a contract for a further two James Bond films under one condition...&#8203;       	 		 			 				 					 						     					 								 					 						  "Christoph could make a brilliant ongoing man for Bond to battle like in the old days, but the important clincher of it is that Blofeld can only work with Daniel back in the role to keep continuity."Anonymous Daily Star source&#8203;  [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="paragraph" style="text-align:justify;">According to a <a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/christoph-waltz-return-two-more-7106240" target="_blank" title="">recent report</a>, Christoph Waltz who appeared as the villainous Blofeld in last year's SPECTRE may have signed a contract for a further two James Bond films under one condition...<br />&#8203;</div>  <div>  <!--BLOG_SUMMARY_END--></div>  <div><div class="wsite-multicol"><div class="wsite-multicol-table-wrap" style="margin:0 -15px;"> 	<table class="wsite-multicol-table"> 		<tbody class="wsite-multicol-tbody"> 			<tr class="wsite-multicol-tr"> 				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:12.65306122449%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="wsite-spacer" style="height:50px;"></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:74.285714285714%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;"><span><strong>"Christoph could make a brilliant ongoing man for Bond to battle like in the old days, but the important clincher of it is that Blofeld can only work with Daniel back in the role to keep continuity."<br /><em><font size="1">Anonymous Daily Star source<br />&#8203;</font></em></strong></span><br /></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:13.061224489796%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="wsite-spacer" style="height:50px;"></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:left;">Unfortunately, it is unknown whether Daniel Craig himself will be returning for a fifth outing as he stated shortly after filming was completed on SPECTRE that he "would rather slash [his] wrists."

Just like with everyone else, you can tell a lot about a Bond by their choice of timepiece. This is not restricted to the look and feel of the watch they choose, but also includes how they use that watch. For example; while some Bonds enjoy using the full range of Q gadgetry in their watches others prefer a watch that simply looks great and tells the time.<br><br>In this infographic we hail every watch that has graced the wrist of James Bond and go on to say what their choice of watch says about their interpretation of the role. From the classic Rolex Submariner, through the digital era of Moore, to the Omega years of Brosnan and Craig every watch here has added in its own way to the story of James Bond.<br><br>Is James Bond your style icon?
