    Had the privilege of helping him at an Apple Store with his iPhone. Came before we opened to avoid crowds and he was nothing but friendly. Posed for pics, didn’t take himself too seriously, just wanted to be treated like any other customer but knew people wanted to meet him. A production assistant had driven him to the mall and he was chatting with him like they were old friends.

    What I always liked about his character in 'Mrs. Doubtfire', was that he was effectively a love rival but he wasn't a villain. On the contrary, he was a good man and in a time where such characters were usually depicted as being underhanded, hateful and deceitful; he was a breath of fresh air.

      I totally agree. But I remember first seeing him in the mini-series Manions of America. He played Rory O’Manion. There was an immediate fan club created. A very small handful of my friends saw the mini-series and Pierce was seared into our brains. The next year we heard about Remington Steele happening. We told all our friends to watch it because he was going to be in it. “Who’s Pierce Brosnan?”, they asked. Nobody else knew who we were talking about. Well, the world would definitely find out in Remington Steele. It really put him on the map. But I still feel it was Manions of America that introduced him to America, which made everyone see what was possible with this man. But nobody talks about Manions of America.

      @mikearchibald744 Год назад +19

      Most peoples favourite depends on their age when they see it. All James Bonds have to overcome the fact that they look like Hollywood actors, which is tough acting in itself. I thought Timothy Dalton had the best run because both his films were good and thats him, out. But he REALLY looked like a hollywood actor. Connery had some classics, then 'Never Say Never Again' kind of made him a mockery of the role. Roger had some success for the time, but then went way over the top. Octopussy was about the most 'down to earth', but then with a name like that, thats tough to be taken seriously. I thought Brosnans were also kind of over the top theme wise. Not his fault, it was the nineties, they just didn't know how to create villains. He had some meaty scenes, like when he is captured by the Koreans, but they were in transition with Cleese playing an M, they just didn't know what the heck to do. Craig came in just at the right time for that kind of series. It had problems but Skyfall was definitely one of hte best. They went so silly with the womens names that it was always hard to take them very seriously. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is still about the best series out there.

      Can turn on a dime into the most ruthless killing machine of them all with more individual kills per move than any other Bond including Daniel Craig and his Bourne complex and Dalton who had no clue what Bond was about
      He's managed to do all that despite some dodgy directors and scripts to say the least
      He was The Total Package.....

    Pierce Brosnan is my favourite actor and childhood hero since I saw him as a little kid playing Rimington Steele. All love and respect to him

    'The Ghost Writer' truly is a masterpiece in my opinion. The way you get drawn into the story, the mystery and the end the suspense. And probably closer to reality than one initially perceives.

    I’ve loved Pierce since Remington Steele. Thank you for all the entertainment you’ve given me over my lifetime.

    I remember in the Thomas Crowne Affair DVD commentary, John McTiernan (i assume) said about one of the first shots: Pierce walked into the office scene where he does/doesn't have his briefcase blah blah... but wanted to do it again. And McTiernan was blown away about how Pierce stopped, thought a moment, and then they did the take again, and it was an entirely different person walking into scene. He was able to just transform himself into Crowne just by the way he walked. As an early teen, hearing and seeing that, it made me realize just how much actors do to become the character. It's not all just handed to them and they do what is written down.

    In 1982, "Remington Steele" debuted. I was a teenage girl and couldn't believe the stunner appearing on my TV screen. ❤️ Been that way ever since. 🥳

    I love Pierce Brosnan. I’ve got all his movies on dvd, even the Remington Steele series and the Manions of America on my computer. I’ve visited the places in Ireland related to him: the street St. Finian’s Terrace in Navan where he was born, the Monastery in the Manions of America, Ashford Castle (now a 5 star hotel) where his wedding was celebrated and which castle he inherited in Remington Steele… he signed the picture of himself that I took with me to the premiere of the movie The November man that he attended on the red carpet in Oostende in Belgium with Beau St. Claire. It’s framed and hangs on my living room wall. He is such a humble, gentle and good looking man who’s been through some really tough times. He’d almost lost his son in a car crash. In an interview he revealed that he had to think twice of taking the role of a father who loses his son in a car accident in the movie The Greatest. And also his first wife Cassandra Harris, her daughter Charlotte (his step daughter) and Beau St. Claire… all three died of ovarian cancer. Yet he carried on making movies and carried on with his life.
    But I think that over all the years that have passed he (still!) is the absolute number 1 for wearing a suit. They’re made for his physique and he looks extremely handsome in them!
    He’s been called the most handsome man by GQ magazine.
    … did I mention that I love him?
