This Sunday, the great actor Sean Connery will be 88 years old.
IMHO, there was no better James Bond than Connery, and he also acquitted himself well in non-Bond films. He received a standing ovation when he won the Oscar as Best Supporting Actor for his role in THE UNTOUCHABLES.
He has retired from acting, but occupies his time with other projects. He was a major force behind the cause of Scottish independence from the UK, even going so far as appearing for his investiture in full clan regalia. However, his efforts were for naught, as the Scottish population voted to remain in the UK.
Happy birthday, Sir Sean.

IMO, one of his best roles was as Harrison Ford's father in INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE. As far removed from James Bond as you can get.
I love him because he was willing to try many different roles and did not let false pride limit him to romantic leads.

Sean Connery's first leading role, a live BBC Sunday Night Theatre 1957 version of Requiem for a Heavyweight 1957. In May 2014, director Alvin Rakoff unearthed an audio recording of this play, which he had had made on its live broadcast, from his loft. Nothing else is known to exist of the performance.

Younger navy Connery ... ...reminds me of U.K. pop star Robbie Williams.
