    Default Sean Connery Passed Away - Age 90

    Sad days. He lived one heck of an amazing life. Man was a true legend. Many years ago I accidentally got to play golf with him and his publicist here in Colorado. On the first tee when I walked up I saw him and I laughed inside and said to myself, "Man, that guy could be Sean Connery's twin". Only took me to about the third hole when I heard him talking and went, "Wait...what?" Really serious, but laid back guy. Rest in Peace Mr. Connery, you will be missed.

    While he'll always be remembered as James Bond.

    We like him in The Wind & the Lion, as Sharif Raisuli

    Same for Highlander, The Man who Would be King, Hunt for Red October and A Bridge too Far

    Besides Bond, of course, another role of his I liked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1CF7p9z-0o

    ...and the fact that a couple of my other favorites were in the movie, Quaid and Postlethwaite, didn't hurt, either.

    My favorite actor. Great in any of his roles. A definite loss to us all.

    Absolutely. Sir Connery was a legend and will live forever through his roles and his iconic voice.

    A great movie. One of many for him.

    I dated a girl in high school. Her sister was in the military and my girlfriend always told us the sister spoke Russian fluently. The sister always denied it and claimed to only speak a few words. She also couldn't talk about what she did for the military. A friend, the sister, my girlfriend and I all went to the theater to watch the movie and in the middle of the movie the sister leaned over and started telling us that the Russian translations were wrong and started translating it for us herself. After the movie was over I looked at her and said "I thought you could only speak a few words of Russian". She looked at me and blushed. After that night she would deny being fluent in Russian to others but would then give me a knowing look.
