I am saddened by the passing of Sean Connery, the original actor to play the role of James Bond, and had also appeared in Motion Pictures such as “Ransom” (1974), “Cuba” (1979), several Indiana Jones films alongside Harrison Ford, and the 1998 film adaptation of the 1960’s Television Program titled “The Avengers”.

Below is a video of an interview on Dick Cavett’s Talk/Variety Show that had a run of nearly 20 years from 1968-1986, and has spent its run first on ABC, and later on PBS; of Cavett interviewing Roger Moore (who had passed away in 2017) regarding Moore taking over the role of James Bond from Sean Connery, what it is like to adapt the role of James Bond from Sean Connery’s persona and acting style to Roger Moore’s own persona and acting style; and how the transition from Sean Connery to Roger Moore playing the role of James Bond actually went.
