    A guy from Scotland who was originally a dustman, a milkman, and even a coffin polisher, what more can we say the guy did well and just goes to show if you can focus your mind absolutely anything is possible as Sean showed throughout his career god bless you Sean one of my home countries greatest exports. RIP my son and hello from us all here in your native country.

    Hahaha, I always get the chills when Sean Connery says " My name is Bond. James Bond." I never realized how hard it was to say it that way until I heard Spielberg's version. I know he was just quoting it in his speech so it has a different tone and all, but golly, just that one line! It's such a simple way to introduce oneself, but Connery managed to make it so much more. THAT'S talent.

    A befitting tribute from a celebrity director to a celebrity James Bond .......The Original and arguably the best representation of Ian Fleming's character. Connery's physiognomy had all the masculine shades and confident body language that was required to make this spy character an instant hit in 1962.

    Spielberg approached Cubby Broccoli, the Bond producer, in the mid 70s about directing a Bond film, and Broccoli purportedly refused. The Bond producers preferred to use directors that they could control and who didn't make great financial demands. It was only with the success of Skyfall, directed by Oscar winning Sam Mendes [American Beauty] that Barbara Broccoli decided to re-hire Mendes for the next Bond film.
