Born:
August 25, 1930
in
Fountainbridge, Edinburgh
Best Known For:
Being the first big-screen James Bond.
Early-life:
Thomas Sean Connery was born in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh on August 25, 1930. He first worked as a milkman and coffin polisher before joining the Navy at 16. During his spell in the service he had two tattoos etched on his right arm; he was eventually forced to leave after developing a stomach ulcer. At 19, he made ends meet as an artist's model at Edinburgh's School of Art. He also competed in the Mr Universe body-building competition in 1953.
Career:
While still a bodybuilder, Sean was offered the chance to appear in a West End production of South Pacific, which kick-started his acting career. His film debut came in 1955's Lilacs in the Spring, but he didn't become a major star until he appeared as Bond in 1962's Dr No. It remains his most famous role, despite hits including The Man Who Would Be King, Rising Sun, A Bridge Too Far, Time Bandits, Highlander, The Rock, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Entrapment. He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for The Untouchables in 1987.
Quote:
'I never disliked Bond, as some have thought. Creating a character like that does take a certain craft. It's simply natural to seek other roles.'
Trivia:
He was knighted in 2000.
