Burt Reynolds was once considered for the role of James Bond but declined it, allowing Roger Moore to step in. Reynolds was reportedly offered the role after Sean Connery's departure but turned it down due to concerns about the physical demands of the part. Moore eventually took on the iconic role in Live and Let Die (1973), which marked the beginning of his seven-film run as 007, cementing his place as one of the most beloved Bond actors.
