Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. George Lazenby (1939 - ) Actor Born: September 5, 1939, Queanbeyan, Australia George Lazenby is destined to be the answer to a trivia question: Name the first actor who replaced Sean Connery as James Bond. Indeed, after Connery bowed out of the role in the late 1960s, Lazenby, then a model in Australia, was hired. He did one Bond film, AL SERVICIO SECRETO DE SU MAJESTAD (1969), which did not live up to Connery box office levels. Although asked to return in a second Bond film, Lazenby declined and has worked only sporadically since. He starred in the unsuccessful Bond spoof UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (1971) and went on to play supporting roles in features like THE MAN FROM HONG KONG (1975), LOCURA YANQUI (1977), as an architect in the That's Armageddon segment, Peter Bogdanovich SAINT JACK (1979), as a senator, and GETTYSBURG (1993), as General J. Johnston Pettigrew, the scholarly Confederate who dies in Pickett's Charge. On TV, Lazenby has made occasional guest appearances on series (e.g., Hawaii Five-O) and was featured in the syndicated miniseries EVENING IN BYZANTIUM (1978). He has had roles in two syndicated series: in the short-lived soap opera Rituals (1984) as the playwright Logan; and in The Adventures of SuperBoy (1988-92), in the recurring role of Jor-El, the hero's father.
