The search for a new actor for the role of Bond began in 1968, when Sean Connery turned down his role. Lazenbee won the role of Bond in the film "In the Service of Her Majesty" although he had no previous experience other than participating in commercial television, where he was very popular due to the transfer of "Big Color Fried Chocolate". Lazenbee was one of such contenders for the role of Bond as Anthony Ridgers/font in this role
There were many conflicts at Lazenby had strained relations with director Peter Hunt and Bond girl star Diana Rig. Today, he admits that he made a bad decision by refusing to star in subsequent episodes of the film. And Connery came back in the next movie. However, the film featuring Lazenbee is considered by most fans to be one of the best in the Bond series.
In the early 70s Lazenbee was working in Hong Kong and was going to make a film with Bruce Lee before the actor's unexpected death. A few years ago, after a long respite during which he was only interested in racing cars, he returned to activity. He was often involved in James Bond fan events.
