Contrary to urban legend, the very last memo Walt Disney wrote before his death was "CIA...Mobley", referring to Roger Mobley, who at the time, was a Disney staple in the popular "Adventures of Gallegher" serials. (see "Walt Disney's last memo" on YouTube) Born in Evansville, Indiana, the one time Disney favorite was one of eight talented children who could sing and play musical instruments. Roger was the novelty portion (age 3) of a singing trio, which included an older brother and sister. Performing in carnivals and fairs, the kids eventually made an appearance on Ted Mack & the Original Amateur Hour (1948), where a talent agent spotted Roger and signed him up. A recurring role as Packy Lambert on Fury (1955) on Saturday mornings came about in 1957 and he stayed with the show for almost three years. The young actor was already appearing in a number of TV westerns (Gunsmoke (1955), Cheyenne (1955), The Virginian (1962)) and eight episodes of Wagon Train (1957), along with dozens of other guest roles, and a few low-budget films (notably the animal picture The Silent Call (1961), which was the last role for the lovely 1940s and 1950s star Gail Russell) and the light comedy feature Dime with a Halo (1963)) when Disney signed him to play the title role in the popular "Gallegher" episodes on Disneyland (1954), that show's highest-rated serials according to the Disney Vault. Roger also appeared in a couple of the studio's popular feature films, notably Emil and the Detectives (1964). His five-year stay at Disney came to an end when Roger was drafted into the U.S. Army. He volunteered for an extra year so that he could complete Parachute Jump School and Special Forces Training at Ft. Bragg, N.C. Upon completion of his 9 month Green Beret Training, Mobley was assigned to the 46th Special Forces Co. 1st Special Forces in Thailand. He married high school sweetheart Sharie Barclay, and upon being honorably discharged from the Army in 1970, he discovered that his parents had only set aside $6,000 for him from his extensive work over an 11 year period. He also discovered he did not receive a warm welcome from Hollywood upon his return. Mobley and his wife, Sharie Barclay Mobley, moved to Texas where he joined the ranks of the Beaumont (Texas) Police Department. Roger attempted a comeback with Disney in the late 1970s but only nabbed a couple of bit roles and moved back to his beloved Texas. He tried his hand at welding in the shipyard, cowboying in the Texas panhandle, coaching, bull riding, undercover narcotics officer, truck driver, and eventually became a climber/inspector of 300-foot wind turbines being constructed all over the country. For relaxation and enjoyment Roger rides his adopted mustang "Sonny" and catches and sells live rattlesnakes. The joy of his life is his 9 grandchildren.
Roger Moore will perhaps always be remembered as the man who replaced Sean Connery in the James Bond series, arguably something he never lived down. Roger George Moore was born on October 14, 1927 in Stockwell, London, England, the son of Lillian (Pope) and George Alfred Moore, a policeman. His mother was born in Calcutta, India, to a British family. Roger first wanted to be an artist, but got into films full time after becoming an extra in the late 1940s. He came to the United States in 1953. Suave, extremely handsome, and an excellent actor, he received a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. His initial foray met with mixed success, with movies like Diane (1956) and Interrupted Melody (1955), as well as The Last Time I Saw Paris (1954). Moore went into television in the 1950s on series such as Ivanhoe (1958) and The Alaskans (1959), but probably received the most recognition from Maverick (1957), as cousin Beau. He received his big breakthrough, at least internationally, as The Saint (1962). The series made him a superstar and he became very successful thereafter. Moore ended his run as the Saint, and was one of the premier stars of the world, but he was not catching on in America. In an attempt to change this, he agreed to star with Tony Curtis on ITC's The Persuaders! (1971), but although hugely popular in Europe, it did not catch on in the United States and was canceled. Just prior to making the series, he starred in The Man Who Haunted Himself (1970), which proved there was far more to Moore than the light-hearted roles he had previously accepted. He was next offered and accepted the role of James Bond, and once audiences got used to the change of style from Connery's portrayal, they also accepted him. Live and Let Die (1973), his first Bond movie, grossed more outside of America than Diamonds Are Forever (1971); Connery's last outing as James Bond. He went on to star in another six Bond films, before bowing out after A View to a Kill (1985). He was age 57 at the time the film was made and was looking a little too old for Bond - it was possibly one film too many. In between times, there had been more success with appearances in films such as That Lucky Touch (1975), Shout at the Devil (1976), The Wild Geese (1978), Escape to Athena (1979) and North Sea Hijack (1980). Despite his fame from the Bond films and many others, the United States never completely took to him until he starred in The Cannonball Run (1981) alongside Burt Reynolds, a success there. After relinquishing his role as Bond, his work load tended to diminish a little, though he did star in the American box office flop Feuer, Eis & Dynamit (1990), as well as the comedy Bullseye! (1990), with Michael Caine. He did the overlooked comedy Bed & Breakfast (1991), as well as the television movie The Man Who Wouldn't Die (1994), and then the major Jean-Claude Van Damme flop The Quest (1996). Moore then took second rate roles such as Spice World (1997), and the American television series The Dream Team (1999). Although his film work slowed down, he was still in the public eye, be it appearing on television chat shows or hosting documentaries. Roger Moore was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire on December 31, 1998 in the New Years Honours for services to UNICEF, and was promoted to Knight Commander of the same order on June 14, 2003 in the Queen's Birthday Honours for services to the charities UNICEF and Kiwanis International. Roger Moore died of cancer on 23 May, 2017, in Switzerland. He was 89.
