Sir Sean Connery has died aged 90.

The multi-award-winning Scots actor was best known for defining James Bond, and was the first to bring the role to the big screen.

.....was only in my late teens when the first James Bond movie came out....wow...! those “Bond girls” were terrific...IMHO, Sir Sean was truly the ONLY James Bond...sorry to see his passing...I believe one of the first films he appeared in was as a British Army Lance Corporal in “The Longest Day”.....as they say, the rest is history...RIP

Connery’s role as a tough Irish cop in The Untouchables is one of my favorites. RIP

The First Great Train Robbery was very good as well. Sean played a thief and uses his classic wit and charm to work the scheme.

My favorite Sean Connery movie was “The Man who Would be King. It was such a pleasure to watch such fine acting. His co-star was Michael Caine, another great actor. The two of them together was magic.

Sad. RIP Mr Connery.

Never saw a Bond movie, for some reason just wssn’t interested (didn’t watch movies at all back then)

Connery was great in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Rising Sun, Hunt for Red October was one of the best movies ever...can’t remember what else he did, think I saw a couple of others. Oh yeah, Highlander. Another great one.

One of only two Bonds. Other was Roger Moore.

Agree 100%.
