Acting legend and James Bond star Sir Roger Moore has died at the age of 89. The actor’s family announced the news of Moore’s death on Tuesday morning in a tweet from his official Twitter account.
But Moore is best known for being the third actor to step into the shoes of James Bond, and the longest actor to play the iconic character.
Moore played 007 for 12 years, beginning with Live and Let Die in 1973 and gave his final performance as Bond in 1985’s A View to Kill.
Moore served in the Royal Army before attending drama school and beginning a career as an actor.
