Roger Moore: Television
built 191 days ago
During the early 1950s, Moore worked as a male model, appearing in print advertisements for as wide a range of products as toothpaste and knitwear, something which many critics have used as typifying his lightweight credentials as an actor. His earliest known television appearance, at a time when the BBC were the only channel, was on May 27 1950, in Drawing Room Detective, a one-off programme. Presented by veteran BBC announcer Leslie Mitchell, it invited viewers at home to spot clues to a crime during a playlet, whose actors included Alec Ross (first husband of Sheila Hancock), Michael Ripper, and Moore. Barring interviews, he has not worked for BBC television since.

Moore was now out of television and returned to feature films. He made three more features for Warners including a western, Gold for Seven Sinners (1961), a Western vehicle for Clint Walker, the former star of Cheyenne, which was partly shot in Italy. Moore stayed two years in Italy where he made two Italian films.

Roger appeared on the West-End Stage in several plays before his National Service with the British Army. Whilst in the army, Roger served with a Combined Services Entertainment Unit in Germany, with the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. After he had finished his National Service, Roger again worked in the theatre, but ... on television and radio, he also worked for a time as a model and as a salesman.

Since then, The Persuaders has enjoyed something of a renaissance both on television and DVD, with the 'rivals' Moore and Curtis reuniting to provide commentaries on the most recent issues. In France, where the series (entitled Amicalement Vôtre) had always been popular, the DVD releases accompanied a monthly magazine of the same name.
