R.I.P. Sean Connery 1930 - 2020

Legendary actor Sean Connery died at age 90 after a long illness. The retired actor left behind an amazing filmography whose career took off when he was cast as 007 James Bond for Dr No. and reprising the role for additional 6 movies. He later played a critical role in Highlander, moved on to the russian submarine commander in The Hunt for Red October, and play Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade with a then surprise appearance as King Richard in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. His one Oscar came from playing Jimmy Malone in The Untouchables. The actor retired in 2003 with his final role in The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. His resume is worth giving a look followed by a movie binge as he always elevated every film he was in. Condolances to his family and friends on their loss.
