Awwwwwwwww.......I think it's safe to say that the world felt a special Bond with him and viewed him as a Saint.

I always liked his TV Saint, which was definitive (especially the original B & W series), but never cared for his Bond, where he just seemed too genial - and finally too old - for the part. His best film, imho, was The Man Who Haunted Himself .

That sucks I grew up with his version of Bond which for a while made him my favorite although now he may be the weakest. Still, seemed like a nice charming guy. |

He was the star of one of the first British tv shows I ever watched.
