Manage episode 323602467 series 2919984
On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler and Brendan Duffy explore the life and career of George Lazenby, the second actor to play James Bond on the big screen.
The Australian model-turned-actor was plucked from obscurity to play 007 in 1969's 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. We explore his incredible rise to fame, how he landed the most coveted role in Hollywood, and why he turned his back on the chance to play Bond again. Find out what went down on the set of 'OHMSS' and the chain of events that led to his exit.
We also delve into Lazenby's post-Bond career, his time in Hong Kong, and his flirtations with espionage TV and movies. We also look at what he's said about quitting the role, and how his brief tenure became an integral part of the story of 007 movies.
