The Characters (in order of appearance):

	James Bond Played by: Roger Moore Description: A View to A Kill marked the final appearance of Roger Moore as James Bond, and not a moment too soon. Moore looked far too old to be a believable 007 and the movie suffers because of it. Still, by this point he has the character down perfectly and if his age had not caught up with him he could have continued in the role.
