George Lazenby filmography

Common card · No. 284644

George Lazenby is an Australian actor. He began his working life as a model, and he had only acted in commercials when he took over the role of James Bond from Sean Connery—the first 007—in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). He declined to return for subsequent Bond films, so becoming the only actor to play the character just once. The most notable of his other films were Universal Soldier (1971), Who Saw Her Die? (1972), The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss (1974), and The Man from Hong Kong (1975). He also appeared in minor roles in several later movies. Lazenby's single portrayal of Bond and lack of standing as a favourite in the series, has resulted in his name being used as a metaphor for forgettable, non-iconic acting efforts in other entertainment franchises, and for entities that are largely ignored. Lazenby retired from acting in 2024.
