Sean Connery

Sean Connery (August 25, 1930-October 31, 2020) played the role of Ian Fleming’s secret agent James Bond, which he first played in the 1962 film “Dr. No.” Suave, quick-witted, aggressive, and a smooth operator with the ladies, he repeatedly saved the world from Iron Curtain operatives and power-mad oligarchs. The Scottish actor has certainly set the shaken-not-stirred big-screen prototype for Bond. There is no doubt that he was the best.
