Sabertooth Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 A good run (90) and a stellar career. He did a lot of great work but my favorite was his role as Dr. Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade. The interplay between he and Harrison Ford is just fantastic. socrates63 and MaximumRD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 A sad loss. He will be remembered for a long time thanks for the many roles he played over the years. I don't think there's a role he did that was not memorable. He was great as Marko Alexandrovich Ramius in The Hunt for Red October and he voiced the dragon Draco in Dragonheart. He brought such dignity to the characters. RIP Sir Connery. MaximumRD, Sabertooth and socrates63 3 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Awww, man. That's sad. He will be missed. Awesome actor and the voice of the dragon in Dragon heart. socrates63, Sabertooth and MaximumRD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 He will always be The James Bond for me. As a kid, my first exposure to James Bond was the Moore movies during the 80s, and I love them. About twenty years ago, I bought the Bond DVD set and watched the Connery movies and was blown away. His ability to propel his career beyond the Bond films was quite the accomplishment. As already mentioned, his performance as the senior Dr. Jones in The Last Crusade was outstanding and memorable.
