BIOGRAPHY: Sean Connery found fame and fortune as the suave, sophisticated British agent, James Bond. After six Bond films, Connery yearned to break from the Bond image, and eventually earned an Oscar as veteran Chicago cop, Jimmy Malone, in The Untouchables (1987). A genuine movie star, his co-stars often complement his professionalism. Connery continues to be at his best when he plays no-nonsense characters.
TRIVIA:
- He and his son, actor 'Jason Connery (I)' (qv), have both played Robin Hood. Sean played an aging Robin Hood opposite 'Audrey Hepburn' (qv) in _Robin and Marian (1976)_ (qv). Jason played Robin Hood, AKA: Robert of Huntingten, in the television series _"Robin of Sherwood" (1984)_ (qv). Jason also played 'Ian Fleming (I)' (qv) in the television movie _The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1990) (TV)_ (qv). Fleming was the author of the James Bond novels that made Sean famous in 1962.
- He brought future James Bond, 'Roger Moore (I)' (qv) to a press screening in Paris for _Diamonds Are Forever (1971)_ (qv).
- 'Terry Gilliam' (qv) did not intend to cast him as King Agamemnon in _Time Bandits (1981)_ (qv), he simply wrote in the screenplay that when Agamemnon took off his helmet he looked "exactly like Sean Connery." To Gilliam's surprise, the script found its way into Connery's hands and Connery subsequently expressed interest in doing the film.
- Said his favorite memory from _A Bridge Too Far (1977)_ (qv) was working with 'Dirk Bogarde' (qv), whom he had long admired.
- The Edinburgh Filmhouse rejected a proposal to rename itself "The Sean Connery Filmhouse" in November 2005 following complaints over Connery's status as a tax exile.
- Of his career choices in the '90s (pretty much his last decade in film), _The Rock (1996)_ (qv) and _Entrapment (1999)_ (qv) are the films he liked the most. On the other hand, _The Avengers (1998)_ (qv) was a film he regretted doing at all.
- His father Joseph Connery died of throat cancer at the age of sixty-nine in August 1972.
- Played James Bond in _Thunderball (1965)_ (qv). 18 years later, he reprised the role in the film's remake, _Never Say Never Again (1983)_ (qv). He is the only Bond actor to appear in both an official and non-official EON production.
