Re: Sean Connery RIP
What a career! True legend. By far the greatest James Bond of them all and so many other great characters. Growing up, if I found out he was in a movie then it was a movie I wanted to watch. His screen presence was just off the charts cool. RIP

Always loved the tradition of his "Welcome to the Rock" movie clip at home games...a great actor for sure.

Re: Sean Connery RIP
My first Bond movie was Thunderball and I was hooked. A more unknown film he did was The Wind and the Lion with A young Candice Bergen. May God rest his soul.

Re: Sean Connery RIP
Despite his true age, 90, Connery will be a real loss to Hollywood/New York/Foreign studios in any number of ways. The Covid-19 virus has already shuttered most of the Class A left coast and nyc film companies and venture companies that put up the money it takes for staffing, training, designing sets and creating special effects for the really, really big productions. Losing Connery takes away one of the premiere old heads who could read a script and advise those with venture capital whether they should lend to Project A, B, C or D--and in what order--and who should be considered for starring roles. He had a tremendous knack for making those huge calls and getting them right. It follows that he was paid huge sums for his expertise in evaluation of *hot* proposals for the big, wide screen. RIP, Mr Bond.

Re: Sean Connery RIP
Being in high school and college in the 60s his Bond movies were absolutely the coolest things I had ever seen -

Re: Sean Connery RIP
I bought a poster of him from Dr. No at the student union poster sale (do they still do those?) for my freshman year dorm room. It's still up in my office, almost 25 years later. RIP to an icon.

Re: Sean Connery RIP
RIP to the greatest Bond there is. I just bought the Bond collection a few months ago so will have to watch all of his movies in his honor.

Re: Sean Connery RIP
The SNL skits with "Sean Connery" were the best. One of my favorite actors. I always wished he had been brought in to the Star Wars universe as either a Jedi master or some scoundrel bounty bounty hunter or something, or even the father of Han Solo as a nod to the Indiana Jones movies. Daniel Craig is the best "action" James Bond, but Connery was the best personality and character in the role.
