7 memorable non-007 roles
Roger Moore, who died Tuesday at age 89, is best remembered for playing superspy James Bond in seven movies from 1973 to 1985. But he had a storied career in Hollywood before and after his turn as 007.
"Maverick" (1960-61): Born in the U.K., Moore got his start as an MGM contract player in the 1950s. His first big breaks came in television, including this western starring James Garner as a frontier cardsharp.
"The Saint" (1962-69): Moore became a household name as the star of this small-screen spy thriller, based on Leslie Charteris' books with character Simon Templar.
"The Man Who Haunted Himself" (1970): In this twisty pre-Bond thriller, Moore played a man who gets into a car accident and learns he has a doppelgänger — or has gone insane.
"ffolkes" (1980): Moore tried to shake the Bond persona with this thriller. He played a misogynistic terrorism expert who tries to stop hijackers from blowing up oil rigs.
"The Cannonball Run" (1981): Moore sent himself up in this caper comedy (starring Burt Reynolds) by playing a millionaire who has plastic surgery to better resemble … Roger Moore.
"Spice World" (1997): Moore played the eccentric "Chief" of a record label in this musical comedy starring the Spice Girls.
"Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore" (2010): In this family comedy that spoofed Bond thrillers, Moore voiced the head of the feline spy agency MEOWS (Mousers Enforcing Our World's Safety).
