What's not a phase is my love for George Lazenby. Not only did he participate in one of the best James Bond-movies ever, he's also a criminally underrated actor. Today I had the pleasure to meet him at the Scandinavian Sci-Fi, Game & Film Convention in Göteborg and what a gentleman he is. A dry sense of humor and a very friendly attitude to his fans. Because I'm a geek I had to take a photo of him, a photo he later signed for me:
This is why I want to recommend you some review I've written earlier related to Lazenby. For example the masterpiece, one of the best giallos ever made, Who Saw Her Die? I've also written three texts about his trilogy of Golden Harvest productions: The Man from Hong Kong, Stoner and A Queen's Ransom. The first one is an action masterpiece, the second one is very cool and the third one just OK - but Lazenby is always worth watching.
Please don't give up on me. I will return to form sooner or later :)
