Moore did not act on screen for five years after he stopped playing Bond; in 1990 he appeared in several films and in the writer-director [[Michael Feeney Callan]]'s television series ''My Riviera'' and starred in the film ''[[Bed & Breakfast (1992 film)|Bed & Breakfast]]'' which was shot in 1989;<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-09-17-ca-520-story.html|date=17 September 1989|title=Roger Moore and Talia Shire Take Sequel Break |last=Champlin |first=Charles |author-link=Charles Champlin |work=Los Angeles Times}}</ref> and also had a large role in the 1996 film ''[[The Quest (1996 film)|The Quest]]''; in 1997 he starred as the Chief in ''[[Spice World (film)|Spice World]]''.<ref name="NYDaily">{{cite news|url=http://www.dailynews.com/arts-and-entertainment/20170523/6-memorable-roger-moore-roles-including-james-bond-007|title=6 memorable Roger Moore roles including James Bond 007|work=New York Daily News|access-date=25 May 2017}}</ref> At the age of 73 he played a flamboyant homosexual man in ''[[Boat Trip (film)|Boat Trip]]'' (2002) with [[Cuba Gooding Jr.]]

The British satirical puppet show ''[[Spitting Image]]'' had a sketch in which their [[latex]] likeness of Moore, when asked to display emotions by an offscreen director, did nothing but raise an eyebrow; Moore himself stated that he thought the sketch was funny and took it in good humour. Indeed, he had always embraced the "eyebrows" gag wholeheartedly, and quipped that he "only had three expressions as Bond: right eyebrow raised, left eyebrow raised, and eyebrows crossed when grabbed by [[Jaws (James Bond)|Jaws]]".<ref name="Telegraph 2017">{{cite news |title=The quintessential Englishman: what we learned from Sir Roger Moore |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/quintessential-englishman-learned-sir-roger-moore/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/thinking-man/quintessential-englishman-learned-sir-roger-moore/ |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |access-date=2 October 2019 |work=The Telegraph}}{{cbignore}}</ref> ''Spitting Image'' continued the joke, featuring a Bond film spoof, ''The Man with the Wooden Delivery'', with Moore's puppet receiving orders from [[Margaret Thatcher]] to kill [[Mikhail Gorbachev]]. Other comedy shows at that time ridiculed Moore's acting, with [[Rory Bremner]] once claiming to have had a death threat from one of his irate fans following one such routine.<ref>Bremner, Rory ''Beware of Imitations'' (1999)</ref>

In a nod to his 1960s TV show, Moore had a vocal cameo in ''[[The Saint (1997 film)|The Saint]]'' (1997) as a radio newsreader as Simon Templar drives away at the end of the film. In the year 2000, he played the role of a secret agent in the Christmas special ''[[Victoria Wood with All the Trimmings]]'', shown on BBC One on Christmas Day. Filming all his scenes in the [[London Eye]], his mission was to eliminate another agent whose file photo looks like Pierce Brosnan. In 2002 he had a small cameo role in the German [[police procedural]] series ''[[Tatort]]'' (episode 506: "Schatten" – "Shadow", 28 July 2002) as himself signing an autograph on a Unicef card.

In the 1981 film ''[[The Cannonball Run]]'', Moore played Seymour Goldfarb, a parody of both himself and James Bond, driving an [[Aston Martin DB5]].

In support of his charitable work for UNICEF, Moore lent his voice to the character of the magic snowman, Lumi Ukko, for a 1990 feature film produced by Pavlina Ltd/FIT. The film is UNICEF-endorsed and is dedicated to the "world’s children".<ref>{{Citation |last1=Crnobrnja |first1=Stanko |title=The Magic Snowman |date=22 December 1987 |type=Fantasy, Family |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093473/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_7_prd |access-date=5 March 2024 |others=Roger Moore, Justin Fried, Dragana Marjanovic |publisher=Pavlina Ltd., TRZ Ton i film |last2=Stanner |first2=C.}}</ref> An audiobook titled ''The Magic Snowman and The Rusty Ice Skates'' features his voice. His daughter, the actress [[Deborah Moore]], narrated the book in honour of her father’s&nbsp;legacy and his work&nbsp;for UNICEF. 20 per cent of the book’s&nbsp;proceeds are pledged to the organisation.

In 2009 Moore appeared in an advertisement for the [[Post Office Ltd.|Post Office]]. In 2010 he provided the voice of a talking cat called [[George Lazenby|Lazenby]] in the film ''[[Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore]]'' which contained several references to, and parodies of, Bond films. In 2011 he co-starred in the film ''[[A Princess for Christmas]]'' with [[Katie McGrath]] and [[Sam Heughan]], and in 2012 he took to the stage for a series of seven 'Evenings with' in UK theatres and, in November, guest-hosted ''[[Have I Got News for You]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p22k9|title=Episode 6 Have I Got News for You, Series 44 Episode 6 of 11|publisher=BBC One|access-date=25 May 2017}}</ref> A slightly thinner-faced Moore contributed to a charity song in 2017. His last on-screen performance was in 2017, a brief appearance near the end of the remake of ''The Saint''.
