I loved his self-deprecation, there's a lovely quote from him in today's Times :
" When I was playing The Saint I had two expressions now I'm playing Bond I've managed to get that up to four " ! Lovely

Seemed like a nice man and would occasionally, as in The Persuaders, find something to suit his rather limited range. For a while I stopped watching the Bond films as they became too silly by half.
A star rather than a great actor. RIP.

He was old school, in a good way. A star with manners and humour.
Things were simpler then. Whe today could envison a 'hero' as being Saintly pure or even use a word with religious connotations in such a way.
I love people who realise how fortunate they are. Blessed with a modicum of talent and good looks he realised how far he'd travelled with that. He gave back and unlike many who achieve success, seemed to enjoy everything it brought him
As far as I know, a life well lived. RIP Roger.
