One of my all time favourite actors who portrayed so many different characters in his time. I recall always wanting to be Ramirez when playing out scenes from Highlander as a teenager with my best pal, which had to be the worst Spanish accents ever

RIP Sean

You are right! Hard to spot the difference though!
Must be the film he did not get a part in!

Roger Moore was my favourite James Bond, but Sean Connery was still brilliant. R.I.P

I suspect many will always think the best James Bond is the first one they saw. Connery very much the best for me too.

ClaretAL · Post by **ClaretAL** » Sat Oct 31, 2020 9:08 pm

I have to agree he will be forever remembered as James bond, but for me the best i have seen from him was in The Rock, absolute brilliant role for him and brilliantly played.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Oct 31, 2020 10:14 pm

He's not dead. This is a cover story by MI6, he is actually on an under cover mission in Russia to prevent another major Soviet plan to destabilise the West. Nevertheless I'll go along with a a sincere RIP.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 31, 2020 10:42 pm

The original and best Bond, RIP Sean.

He was much more than just the 1st well known Bond however as this resume proves https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000125/

Read this and thought that Sean Connery had died, then I saw the thread was from October 2021. Phew.

Another that forgot and thought he’d died today after seeing this. I even said to the Mrs ‘oh Sean Connery has died’ she said ‘oh no has he’ …….. both as bad as each other in this house.
