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.

Sean Connery quote:[on Daniel Craig as the new James Bond] Craig's a great choice, really interesting - different. He's a good actor. It's a completely new departure

Fun Facts About Sean Connery
Connery was the first 'official' actor to play Bond in films. Most consider him the best Bond ever. When Connery was chosen for the role for James Bond a lot of people did not believe that he could be James Bond (including Ian Fleming!) but with the tutelage of director Terence Young, Connery made a credible "gentleman spy" (as the posters described him) The original choice for Bond was Ian Fleming's cousin (according to that cousin, Christopher Lee--who played Scaramanga in The Man With the Golden Gun), although other actors, David Niven, Patrick Magoohan, James Mason and Stewart Granger, were approached.[http://www.jamesbondwiki.com/page/Sean+Connery]
