George and I played cricket together here in LA quite often and he is a sensational actor, albeit only on the field when he screams HOWZAT on a catch that bounced 3 or 4 times on its way to his hands.
He self admittedly was so awful on the set and in post that Cubby Broccoli pulled the remaining few hairs out and when he showed up at the premiere with a beard, that was it.

Sad, because he had plenty of what the written Bond had, almost as sad as seeing Connery in Never Say Never Again.

I hadn't ever seen the Lazenby movie until maybe 10-12 years ago. I was shocked when I finally did see it because I thought it was excellent and was surprised that it got so little air time.
