George Lazenby – Still Working at Age 82
Australian actor George Lazenby had only appeared in commercials when he was cast as fictional British spy James Bond, replacing Sean Connery. However, after acting in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, he decided to not act in other Bond movies.
The reason was that the Bond contract was very demanding and George wanted to do different kind of movies. Besides starring in Aussie productions, Lazenby also acted in The Man from Hong Kong, The Kentucky Fried Movie and Universal Soldier.
