IMDb Page
Contributions: Sir Sean Connery was born on August 25, 1930 in Midlothian, Scotland. Connery has never been anything short of amazing in his movies. Starring in such movies as Alfred Hitchcock's "Marnie," "Murder on the Orient Express," "The Man Who Would Be King," "Highlander," "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," "The Hunt for The Red October," "Medicine Man," "The Rock,"The Avengers," "Entrapment," and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." Connery has won an academy award for his performance in "The Untouchables." Sean Connery was almost unknown in the movie world when he was cast in "Dr. No." Shortly after the release of "From Russia With Love," Sean Connery became a household name, and movie scripts were sent to his agency daily. Connery worked his way up to the ranking of an A-List celebrity, thanks to his 6 movie run as James Bond, ending with "Diamonds are Forever."
A stir was caused when Connery told interviewers that it was okay to strike a woman when necessary. That never damaged his image, however, as he remains to be a favorite among so many movie lovers. James Bond never would have worked had an actor with less talent taken the role. Connery had so much fun playing Bond, and his comedic timing was amazing. Many actors have idolized Connery while working with him. When Connery first set foot on the screen during "Dr. No," fans worldwide fell in love with him. It was Connery who is responsible for creating such a huge fan-following behind the James Bond series. Without creating the beginning of the character, none of the other actors would have been able to expand their performance off of the character Connery had already created. The series owes all of its success to Sean Connery.
