October 31, 20205 yr Might have to watch Zardoz later. That is definitely the most crackers Connery movie. RIP to the best Bond of them all. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
October 31, 20205 yr On the news this morning a number of reporters recalled his roles in some movies like The Untouchables, Indiana Jones, The Rock, and of course the James Bond films. However, none of them mentioned his role as Ramirez in the movie Highlander, which for me was one of his most interesting roles. RIP.

October 31, 20205 yr It's so cool how Sean Connery was able to go the distance in his acting career. Nice to see his role as Zed being mentioned: the superior human male that got to play the role of a superior human male (though Zardoz is considered laughably "bad", its story is top rate Sci-Fi IMO). Surprising to me that he was never able to shed his accent in his roles, while I am dumbfounded how so many current actors from the UK can perfectly nail any sort of accent, British or American.

October 31, 20205 yr Just woke up to this news, what a legend, what a life indeed. RIP Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
October 31, 20205 yr The man who would be king, the sad part of aging is so many of the great actors, artists and people I grew up watching, listening to and inspired by have passed on. But how fortunate I have been to have had that experience provided by that very generation. Gary Stewart
