I will be forced to modify my long running bad joke: "How did Sir Sean Connery use to shave? CTRL+Sh!". Rest in peace, sir.

I don't think that I get it. Could you explain?

What time does Sean Connery arrive at Wimbledon?

Ten-ish

Great old school macho screen presence; still a heart throb well into advanced years.

Defined Bond on and off the screen - Bond's Scottish origins are allegedly due to Ian Fleming seeing his portrayal and adding them in subsequently.

RIP. Awesome actor. Wonderful bond.

The best bond. I used to think it was a competition, but now I don't think it's even close.

Mr. Connery invested in a startup I founded years ago. Thanks! Rest in peace.

Could you give some more details in that? Interesting!

Truly a versatile guy!

He was iconic as James Bond, but he had many great roles. My personal favorite: The Rock. He's just so good in this movie.

Indiana Jones the last Crusade

I always thought Rising Sun was rather underrated. Connery and Snipes what's not to like!

I like the diversity of non-Bond movies he did.

My favourites are probably Outland and Finding Forrester.

to me his best was Jimmy Malone in "The Untouchables", but I'll always have a soft spot for Ramirez in "Highlander".

Zardoz! One of my favorite movies, oddly enough.

RIP Sir Sean. And one of the rare few whose film dialogue inspired a website and meme [1] www.yourethemannowdog.com

He's the man now, dog. But in heaven.

Our internal metrics system is named Vasili after that scene.

Some things around here don't react well to bullets.

In the what-if category, he turned down the roles of Dumbledore and Gandalf.
[+] dudul|5 years ago|reply
Somehow I feel like he wouldn't have been a great Dumbledore. As Gandalf, however, it could have been awesome to behold.

Well, 2020 just got worse. Didn’t think it was possible.

He's played so many wonderful characters... RIP.

The first and the Best Bond ever! RIP
