In the 1960s and '70s, Sean Connery’s career was defined by his most iconic role, James Bond. Connery was the first actor to embody the British spy and his performance as 007 made the franchise what it is today.

But Connery didn’t stop there. In the ensuing years he shed his 007 persona to portray other characters like William of Baskerville in The Name of the Rose, Henry Jones, Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and King Arthur in First Knight. Connery also won an Academy Award for portraying Irish-American police officer Jim Malone in The Untouchables. But why has this legendary, award-winning actor practically vanished from Hollywood for good?

Is Sean Connery the best James Bond ever or the Greatest James Bond ever?

He retired officially a decade ago Now the man is 88 Maybe that’s why ?

He's 88 years old, and has $350 million. He's retired for the obvious reasons.

Umm...he is old, and want to retire and live a happy life. Anyone actually needs this video and can't figure this out?

I respected Sean Connery and loved his films. Hope he can enjoy his sunset years relaxing. Do not come back to Hollywood which is full of demented and self-centred actors and actresses.

I actually quite liked League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. However, I like anything that has Connery in it. He has so much charisma.
@keelahrose 4 years ago

Regardless of his final film's lack of critical and financial success, he went out on top. Once a legend, always a legend!

The league of extraordinary gentleman is great. Viewers loved it, critics didn't and it's become a cult classic.

He's one of the best most professional actor I've seen much respect to Sean Connery

Despite its troubled production, and the 'disagreements' Connery had with director Norrington, I have to admit I really like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It's a guilty pleasure, and really deserved a sequel.

I thought he retired. But what a great actor too.👍
@davidmeyers3603 4 years ago

He earned his money, let him retire, he deserves a rest, before he knows it he'll be gone and he didn't enjoy himself. He deserves to retire he worked hard. God bless him. Amen.

Loved him in The Untouchables. Great actor and a Hollywood Legend. Hope he enjoys the rest of his days in the sun.
