River Boyne: Variety Magazine and Movie Industry

river boyne: Brosnan had always been a fan of Moore since he starred as Simon Templar in spy TV series 'The Saint' in the 60s, according to Hamilton Spectator. In an essay penned for Variety magazine, he wrote Only on reflection do I see how much of an influence Roger Moore had on me as a young Irish immigrant lad from the banks of the River Boyne. The 'Mama Mia' star has recalled how he only realised the 'Moonraker' actor had influenced his decision to dedicate his life to the movie industry now he's older. I guess the combination of Bond and the Saint ignited a flame for fame in my heart of innocent wonder. Roger as the Saint made me believe in his world. I wanted to be up there.
