George Lazenby Retirement Salute

A Salute to George Lazenby

Click here to watch the video version of this episode

George Lazenby has announced his retirement from public life. This is a well-earned retirement and we wish him nothing but the best.

In this episode, Dan and Tom bring Mike Reyes back for a salute to the second Eon Productions actor to play James Bond. George had huge shoes to fill in following Sean Connery. We think he filled them very well.

Some of the topics we decode include:

  • How George Lazenby landed the role of James Bond
  • The Hulu show "Becoming Bond"
  • How his James Bond was introduced in the movie and his "This never happened to the other fella" line in the ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE pre-title sequence.
  • The pressure of taking over for Sean Connery who emblazoned his version of James Bond in the moviegoers' minds.
  • Lazenby's upbringing
  • How his work on ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE shaped the role of James Bond for the rest of the series
  • What they think the next James Bond movie George Lazenby should have done. Hint, it isn't DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER, which was the successor to ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE

So, once again, we wish George Lazenby well in his retirement. And we thank him for his work on ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE.

You can read Mike Reyes' articles on CinemaBlend.com.
