He just died at the age of 89. I realize that most people remember him as James Bond, but to me, he’ll always be Simon Templar. I used to watch The Saint as a child when my dad was stationed in England. We actually owned a car (a white 1962 Mercury Comet) that can be seen in an episode of The Saint – apparently, it contained a scene that was set in the US, and it was one of the American vehicles used to set the scene.
I also liked him in The Wild Geese and ffolkes.
