Brosnan first met James Bond films producer Albert R. Broccoli on the sets of "For Your Eyes Only" as his first wife, Cassandra Harris, had been cast as Countess Lisl von Schlaf, mistress to Milos Columbo. Broccoli said, "if he can act ... he's my guy" to inherit the role of Bond from Roger Moore. It was reported by both "Entertainment Tonight" and the "National Enquirer," that Brosnan was going to inherit another role of Moore's, that of Simon Templar in "The Saint". Brosnan denied the rumors in July 1993 but added, "it's still languishing there on someone's desk in Hollywood."
