Quite the contrary. I admire him for being able to overcome his fear and do it.

Yep. It was actually due to Roger flinching at a loud bang that caused Brit to trip over in that scene. Although you really can't tell, but that's according to the DVD commentary.Originally posted by Roebuck
Roger claimed that it was actually Britt Ekland and himself running through those pyrotechnics at the end of TMWTGG, when Scaramanga's island explodes. Quite a feat when you consider Moore has been terrified of loud bangs ever since his weapons training in army intelligence.

Someone radiant with with is going to query whether Roger Moore did his own acting.
But it won't be me.

I know he did some of the climbing in the climax of FYEO...but he needed a lot of drugs do it.
Some folks can act, but are not physically inclined. Roger fell into that category. And given what some of the actors have walked away from, injury wise....Moore might have been the smartest of all of them, letting others do his stunts!

But I agree there's a lot to be said for stars getting involved with the 'physical acting'. Would the rolling boulder scene at the beginning of 'Raiders' have been as effective If Ford hadn't done so much of it himself? And look at the new techniques in 'The Fast and the Furious' that allowed the cast to be involved in action sequences usually too dangerous for anyone but the professional stunt people.

On the Roger 007 DVD's Extra section.. a BUNCH of The Stuntmen said Roger was the best..
I personally saw a bunch of times in Goldfinger where Sean used stunt doubles for "non stunts".. running.. being pushed into walls??
* BUT every 007 does the same amount of stunts the movies wouldn't be insured if they did everything like Jackie Chan:rolleyes:
~ I think Roger gets this rap.. because he is the only actor in 007 movies and NOT.. that respects the stuntmen & actaully admits they do a great job making "him" look good.
BUT you can say that about every Actor ..007 or not!
Watch Arnold's Movie :Commando (made in 1985) You can see his stunt double everywhere!! ..and for stupid non-stunts.. like jumping off a moving car that is going maybe 5 miles per hour?
My favorite is the new thing.. the PR Stunt they do for Pierce's 007 movies, they Press Release everytime that he was "hurt doing a stunt".. to make US the public think he is tough & or this movie will be amazing
