Biografie:
Sean Connery s-a nascut intr-o familie scotiana din clasa mijlocie. Nemultumit de mediul auster in care traia, Sean Connery abandoneaza scoala la varsta de 15 ani si intra in marina (el inca poarta tatuajele pe care are inscriptionat "Scotland Forever" si "Mum and Dad"). A mai lucrat in cateva domenii, dupa care devine interesat de body-building, ceea ce il determina sa apara in cateva reclame din modeling si primeste o oferta de a participa la "Mr. Universe".
Hotaraste sa incerce si in actorie, astfel apare in productia londoneza South Pacific in 1951. Avea sa apara in filme, mici aparitii (figuratie in Lilacs in the Spring 1954) si in cateva roluri secundare.
Primul lui rol important il are in Another Time, Another Place (1958) alaturi de Lana Turner. Dupa cativa ani de intense participari in film si in televiziune, Sean Connery a fost distribuit in rolul Bond in Dr. No (1962).
A fost din nou James Bond in filmul Goldfinger (1964), moment de la care atat Sean Connery cat si agentul secret au devenit un succes in box-office si curand a fost urmat de urmatorul film al agentului 007, Thunderball (1965). A incercat sa dovedeasca audientei si criticilor ca putea juca si alte genuri, nu doar James Bond, aparand in Woman of Straw (1964), un emigrant in filmul lui Hitchcock, Marnie (1964), in The Hill (1965) si un poet lunatic din Greenwich Village in A Fine Madness (1966).
