THE BOND ACTORS
007 flicks: Dr. No, From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice,
Diamonds Are Forver, Never Say Never Again (if that one counts.)
As Bond: Connery is the first and considered the best James Bond. That may have something
to do with it, but also because Connery could be both refined and tough as 007, and no actor
has been able to do that like he could. Also added just the right amount of humor
to the role. Many women considered him to be very good-looking
and women of all ages do today. As my good friend Rachelle says, "He's old but he's fine!"
Post-Bond Career: Sean Connery has been in 58 or so movies besides his 007 films.
By far the most successful Bond actor. He won an Oscar for his role in The Untouchables. Everyone loved him in Indiana Jones
and the Last Crusade, where he just sat on the motorcycle while Harrison Ford
combatted the Nazis on a motorcycle chase just like Bond would have done. He was also in The Rock, and has played both Robin Hood and King Arthur. He'll be seen in The Entrapment, with The Mask of Zorro's Catherine Zeta-Jones. Let's just hope that The Avengers hasn't ruined his career too much.
Best 007 movie: From Russia With Love (But Goldfinger comes in a close second.)
