He wasn't just Bond, of course.
He starred in some of my favourite films, including Robin and Marion, The Name of the Rose, and The Man Who Would be King with Michael Caine.
He was Spanish in Highlander, Irish-American in The Untouchables, and Russian in The Hunt for Red October (and he'd been Russian before, in Anna Karenina for the BBC).
He was Indiana Jones' dad.
He sang in Darby O'Gill and the Little People.
He wore high boots and a red loincloth (and not a lot else) in Zardoz.
He had a fight on the roof of a steam train carriage in The First Great Train Robbery.
He was a cop in space in Outland, a prisoner in a military prison in The Hill, and a truck driver in The Hell Drivers.
That's quite a range for an actor who will mostly be remembered as James Bond.
