You can't escape it: as I'm typing this post a newscaster just referred to the murky death of a member of the British Secret Intelligence Service as a "James Bond mystery." On Sean Connery's 80th birthday I want to note the vigorous, inspiring post-Bond career he forged with terrific work for legendary directors like John Huston in "The Man Who Would Be King," Brian De Palma in "The Untouchables," Fred Schepisi in "The Russia House," Philip Kaufman in "Rising Sun" and Steven Spielberg in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

Thanks for your Sean pics...I am drooling on my keyboard.
The irony is that Capt. Borodin would see Montana. Sam Neill’s next movie after Red October was Jurasic Park. Where do we meet his character in JP? Montana.
Wow, Michael Jordan with hair!
And yet the same actor tried to replace both! Actually, Dalton is my 2nd or 3rd favorite Bond, and was great as Prince Baron in Flash Gordon.

Says he will never act again maybe do some voice overs,fav movie to work on Indiana Jones fav Bond movie From Russia With Love.......
Still awful after all these years....LOL!
Oooops! My bad. Jurasic Park was Neill’s 10th flick after The Hunt for Red October. Should have checked.
Sam Neill fans here, dating back from the first time we saw him, (REALLLLLY dating myself here, lol), in “Reilly - Ace of Spies”, on Masterpiece Theatre. Consistently great program, and that series in particular was excellent! (Memo to me - see if I can find it in DVD for Hubby surprise :)
(And even further OT, we are Multi-Generational Trekkies too, in all definitions of the word ; }
God bless,
Tatt
Awesome :)
