Sir Roger Moore celebrates his 81st birthday today

Sir Roger Moore, the third James Bond, celebrates his 81st birthday today.

Despite taking over the 007 role eleven years after Sean Connery debuted, the veteran English actor is the oldest of all the Bond's.



Roger, the son of George Alfred Moore, a London police constable, was born on October 14th, 1927, in Stockwell, London, England. He played the role James Bond in the official series for a record number of seven times, debuting in 1973 with "Live And Let Die" and retiring twelve years later after 1985's "A View To A Kill".
