Sean Connery Bio | Sean Connery Pictures
Connery was the first actor to play Bond in films. Most consider him as the best Bond ever.
Connery was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 25, 1930. He was a bodybuilder and was chosen to play Bond in 1962's Dr. No after Cary Grant fell through. The film was a success and led to 4 more Bond films during the next 5 years. Tired of being identified only as 007, Connery quit after You Only Live Twice, though he was lured back for one more film, Diamonds Are Forever, and then left the series. However, he returned 12 years later for a final appearance in Never Say Never Again. Connery was also in 2005's video game From Russia With Love as the voice and appearance of James Bond.
Connery earned an Oscar in 1988 of his role as Jimmy Malone in The Untouchables. He was also chosen as "The Sexiest Man Alive" in 1989. Connery is still appearing in successful films, despite suffering from various throat illnesses.
