'''Simon Templar''', better known as ''The Saint'', is a British fictional character created by Leslie Charteris. He is a thief but targets corrupt politicians, warmongers, and other lowlifes, similar in vein to [[Robin Hood]].
A British TV series titled ''The Saint'', based on the books by Charteris, was produced between 1962 and 1969, starring a pre-[[James Bond]] Roger Moore as Simon Templar. That version first aired on [[ITV]] in the United Kingdom and was later picked up for American audiences by [[NBC]].
A 1978 TV sequel also aired on ITV (as well as on [[CBS]] in the United States), ''Return of the Saint'', starred Ian Ogilvy as the title character.
In 1997, a movie version of ''The Saint'' starring Val Kilmer as Templar, based very loosely on the Charteris books and the previous TV shows, was released.
