He was largely regarded as being the best actor to have played 007 in the long-running franchise, often being named as such in polls.
His Oscar came in 1988, when he was named best supporting actor for his role as an Irish cop in The Untouchables.
He was knighted by the Queen at Holyrood Palace in 2000.
In August, he celebrated his 90th birthday.

Though Connery was disliked by Bond author Ian Fleming, to many, he is the quintessential James Bond and will likely be forever, just as Christopher Reeve is for Superman. As a big fan of the Bond novels, I feel that he was a great fit for the role and captured a lot of the swagger and machismo of the character.

Any favourite movies of his ERA?

He made some great, legendary films.

How long had it been since he stopped acting?

Damn. I was actually wondering when this would happen a couple of weeks ago. 2020 just keeps on giving.

RIP to a legend.

Legendary actor, but a bit of an arsehole person. RIP and thoughts to friends and family.
