Moore, More, Moor Trivia Quiz

Answer: George Lazenby

Playing James Bond was George Lazenby's first major role. While he was offered a multi-film contract to play, Lazenby felt that the contract was too demanding and that he would have no problem getting other movie roles. In 1973, Lazenby signed a contract with the Hong Kong-based Golden Harvest studios to co-star with Bruce Lee in a series of films as Lee's "Western Adversary". Lazenby's planned comeback was not as big as he hoped after Lee died shortly after the contract was signed. Lazenby would play parodies of the "James Bond" character in the 1983 TV movie "The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E." and the episode "Diamonds Aren't Forever" of The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Ian Flemming had David Niven in mind for Bond, rather than Sean Connery. Flemming was quoted as saying, "I'm looking for Commander James Bond, not an overgrown stunt man". when he met Connery. Niven did play Bond in the parody "Casino Royale". Woody Allen was also in "Casino Royale" as Jimmy Bond. Timothy Dalton was offered the role in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", but turned it down because he felt he was too young to play the role.
