Not so much an actor as a force of nature, tall, burly Scottish actor [[SilverFox Sean Connery]] made his career as the first actor to play Film/JamesBond on the big screen, one of many in a long line of BigDamnHeroes that he would play over the course of his career. A former milkman, brick layer, truck driver and body builder (back in the days when that meant 'big and athletic' rather than 'steroid-fuelled and vein-covered') notable for his impressive body hair, effortless masculinity and unique variation on the Scottish accent, Connery's [[EvenTheGuysWantHim sex-symbol]] status has proved [[SilverFox surprisingly durable despite the ravages of time]], the early onset of baldness (he wore a toupee to play Bond - and reputedly wanted to go without for ''Film/NeverSayNeverAgain''), and occasional press stories of misogyny on his part.

Also played Henry Jones Sr., father of Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr. in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas had wanted to outdo the ''Film/JamesBond'' films; therefore, Film/JamesBond was both metaphorically and literally IndianaJones's father. Clearly, BadAss is genetic.

After starring as Allan Quartermain in the somewhat lacklustre ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' movie, Connery retired from acting. Some suggest that these facts are related, that the film was so terrible that he just gave up. He has steadfastly refused to come out of retirement, including refusing a cameo in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull''. However, he has returned to voice the main character in the Scottish animated film ''Sir Billi.'' The film's site is [[http://www.billiproductions.com/home.php here]], and it looks... well... [[UncannyValley Oh God]]. *sob*

A major supporter of Scottish independence (though the fact that he hasn't actually lived there for 50 years tends to undermine this a little). Particularly famous for NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent.

Hash a dishtinctive way of shpeaking that everyone on airth believesh they can imitate, although [[EddieIzzard Eddie Izzhard]] (and reportedly Tony Curran) ish particularly good at it.

He is currently noted for being parodied on ''SaturdayNightLive'''s Celebrity Jeopardy recurring sketch, thanks to long-time cast member Darrell Hammond, and is considered a highlight to said recurring sketch (though in the earlier Celebrity Jeopardy sketches, that honor went to Norm [=MacDonald=] as Burt Reynolds).

Also notable for [[SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou trying to shoot you in every video store in the world]].

And [[{{YTMND}} YOU'RE THE MAN NOW, DOG]].

There is even a website for [[http://thingsseanconneryshouldsay.com/ things Sean Connery should say]].

He has won an AFI Life Achievement Award, with tributes from Mike Myers (whose ''JamesBond'' films helped inspire ''AustinPowers''), his later [[TheOtherDarrin James Bond incarnation]] Pierce Brosnan, and James Earl Jones.

Sean Connery is also notable for the "SugarWiki/RuleOfSeanConnery," something that he (and few other people) have been able to accomplish in their lifetimes.
