George Lazenby

George Robert Lazenby ( born 5 September 1939) is an Australian actor and former model widely known for his role as Ian Fleming's fictional British secret agent James Bond in the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). At the age of 29, he was the youngest actor to have portrayed Bond, the only Bond actor to receive a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actor, and the only non-European actor take on the role in the official Bond series. Prior to his portrayal of Bond, Lazenby was a model. He declined subsequent Bond films, and continued to act in Italy, Hong Kong, Australia, and Hollywood. His career stalled in the 1970s and he moved into business and invested in real estate. He later appeared in several films and television series, including roles which parody the James Bond character. In 2017, a Hulu docudrama film, Becoming Bond, featured Lazenby recounting his life story and portrayal as Bond.
