link Very sad, but a very good run. So many classic roles, from 'The Man Who Would be King' to the James Bond franchise (he WAS James Bond as far as I was concerned) to even tiny roles in movies like 'The Longest Day'. The classic accent copied by so many impersonators, I am going to watch some SNL 'Jeopardy' skits to cheer me up. |

Yeah, just saw the news on TV this morning. Another legend of the "Golden Screen" gone too soon. Jim |

I named my son Sean because Sean Connery was my favorite actor. |
| SailingGuy | 31 Oct 2020 7:55 a.m. PST |
The lead in one of my favorite movies of all times…"The Wind and the Lion". Not to mention, the best Bond ever. Rest in peace Sean. |

And I named my son Sean because of
him also. |

A fine actor, who will always be THE James Bond for many people. Personally, though, I loved his performances in The Man Who Would be King and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade best. |

I saw him at the Opera, Madame Butterfly (if I recall correctly) for the curious, in NY in 2007. He was very perky and did a few dance moves for the crowd. He seemed to be a cheerful, light-hearted guy. Sorry to see him go. |

Dead at 90.
A rich full life, and he is missed. |

I think by 90 most folks have had enough, anyway. Still, there will never be another one like him. |

I know that Michael Caine is crying! |

Yea, a very sad day indeed. I really loved his work. He was a superb actor, and will be horribly missed. |

Not many good ones left anymore, RIP Zardoz. |

He was James Bond, anything else was just the icing to the cake.
All good things, including actors, must come to an end. |

Can anyone imagine film without him? Many years ago, I discovered just how much affection I had for the man, affection I didn't even consciously recognize until the moment he appeared on screen as Richard The Lionheart in the otherwise disappointing "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves." When he lifted his helmet, and the audience saw him, there was a collective gasp and a shared feeling of warmth I would never have predicted or expected. At that moment, I realized how much the man's presence on screen meant to me and everyone else. I've been dreading this day…. I hope a piper plays "Scotland The Brave" at your resting place. TVAG |

Rest in peace, Danny. Peachy will bring you home… |

Great actor. Another pair of shoes that will never be filled.
Rest in peace Sir Connery. Thank you for the many screen moments that will never be surpassed. |

Loved him as Bond and A Bridge Too Far; thought he was magnificent in The Hill. |
| Perris0707 | 31 Oct 2020 7:19 p.m. PST |
I loved his role with Nicholas Cage in The Rock. |
| John Leahy | 31 Oct 2020 9:05 p.m. PST |
RIP. He was one of a kind. My son is also named Sean. Thanks John |

I thought he was good in Rising Sun. |
