Pierce Brosnan’s breakthough role in Hollywood was essentially a 94-episode audition for 007. The handsome British star was perfectly cast as the title character in Remington Steele.
The 1982–87 TV series centers around a female private eye named Laura Holt who runs the Remington Steele Detective Agency. There’s one catch. Remington Steele does not exist — Holt invented a male boss to impress her sexist clients. Enter a charming thief and con man, played by Pierce Brosnan, who poses as the fictional Remington Steele. Over the course of the series, Holt and "Steele" team up and inevitably fall in love.
With its blend of wit, action and romance, the tongue-in-cheek action drama proved to be quite influential on pop culture. For starters, its sexy male lead was essentially a mysterious criminal. Of course, Brosnan would eventually win the role of James Bond, though not as soon as intended.
