My husband totally agrees...he will watch only the James Bond movies with Sean Connery...Me, I prefer Sean Connery, after he left the James Bond roles, and started doing other roles...I will agree with the others, I just loved him in The Hunt for Red October...he was just great...
To: dfwgator
The only James Bond that matters.*************
Absolutely.

He was 3rd in 1050.

At sixteen, he enlisted in the Royal Navy. Like many young men in the Navy, he opted for a tattoo. However, unlike many tattoos, his were not frivolous - his tattoos reflect two of his lifelong commitments: his family and Scotland. After six decades, his tattoos still reflect those two ideas: One tattoo is a tribute to his parents and reads "Mum and Dad," and the other is self explanatory, "Scotland Forever."
After three years of Naval service, a long bout with a stomach ulcer shortened his "naval career". He returned to Edinburgh and seemed to settle into a life of hard work: bricklayer, lifeguard, and coffin polisher. Sean spent much of his free time bodybuilding, a pastime that eventually started his acting career. His hobby of bodybuilding culminated in a bid for the 1950 Mr. Universe title where he placed third.

Shoot...I even like Zardoz...diehard Connery fan...but then I was born on his birthday. He made a great Green Knight in Sword of the Valiant, even if the rest of the movie wasn't all that hot.

It's hysterical that here's an actor with a distinguished career, and the mention of his name only brings references to a SNL skit.
