| Description |
Before I was born, my father had another life. As a boy I thought it was the coolest thing ever that my father was a model and appeared as a blind pilot in Day of the Triffids and had one line in Zulu. His biggest claim that he was very close to getting the role of James Bond. Once George Lazenby got the part, James Bond never entered our house again for fear of it reminding my father of his regrets about the career he left behind to raise a family. But in all the scrapes Bond got through, he never had to raise a family and there is no gadget that Q could have ever created to help with that. |
