We all like to see good acting when we go to the movies and some of the best actors are not always from America and Hollywood. It does seem to be a fashion that the best actors and actresses do go to Hollywood after a time usually because they have been selected to star in a new film. The question is who wouldn’t want to star in a Hollywood movie which is most likely what Sean Connery said when he was selected to star in his first role. Born in 1930 you would have to agree that Sean has had a very long and very impressive acting career which has span over nearly 5 decades. Starting out as a teenager in Scotland he soon found that it was the American movies that made all of the money for the actors so he started to follow the Hollywood line. 1954 was his first time as an actor on a movie set and he kept going and going each year, sometimes making more than one movie as well as helping being the director and the producer of some movies later in his life.

He was made famous when he became the 007 James Bond characters which was something of an honor for actors to get the part. After doing several of these James Bond movies his luck with getting roles to play was something of a legend because no other actor was in more demand than Sean was. His good looks and accent gave him that little edge which drove the women wild and made the men envy him as well as the characters that he played. His job as an actor was very successful since he has made so many people happy with his movies over such a long time. His voice has been used for some voice over work as well as some animations which have been coming out lately. The last great film that we see Sean in was the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in 2003 and then another animated series in 2006. While his career may be slowing down as Sean gets older his fame will never slow down after all the great work that he has done.

The greatest of the bonds, Sean Connery set a high level bar for future James Bonds actors to have to live up to just because his style as an actor was one that captured the hearts of women and the attention of men. His great accent had a lot to do with it too but it was truly mostly his acting skills. Sean has appeared in many movies over his long career as an actor which has spanned over several decades now. Movies like the Name of the Rose and the Untouchables where classics that will never die mostly because of the actors in them like Sean. Coming up to 78 years old this year we will no doubt see more of Sean Connery in some movie or another because there has been no mention of him retiring yet. This is great news for his many fans because there is still life in the old dog yet as they say.

Other movie titles include, besides a variety of James Bond movies, a night to remember back in the late 1950s which was a movie about the titanic. The longest day was another great movie that Sean was a big actor in which was not long after the night to remember film. From 1960 to 1967 he starred in several Bond films which were not really for the children but as time went on the Bond movies changed their rating to get a bigger audience and more watcher for the next generation. The hunt for Red October was another winning adventure that Sean was a lead in and this movie, like many of his others is still popular today. More recent films include First Knight and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which were both block buster movies.
