RIP Sir Sean. One of the all time greats, a voice you could listen to all day long.

I suspect more people on here are in their watches thanks to Mr Bond than actual realise.

Not so much a time to mourn, but to celebrate him - he had a great life and good health until his 80’s - 90 is a bloody good innings. One of my all time favourite actors and so versatile, whether he was playing a Russian submarine Captain with a Scottish accent or an Irish Untouchable with a Scottish accent. Reshht In peashh Shirr Sean!

I join you in those sentiments.
The best Bond, imo and a damn good actor overall.
He will be missed.
RIP Sir Connery

It is interesting in this thread, the Bond connection (obviously) which he last acted in in 1983. That was 37 years ago. Hollywood can do that.

Imagine being thought primarily of today for something YOU were a part of 37 years ago.

It's funny how fame works.

This calls for a Bond marathon of all his 007 movies, plus Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
