Damn that's another good one gone. He played a good bond. I liked him in the rock. It reminded me a bit of his bond role.
And his voice! Can't replace that.
RIP Sir Sean Connery

He was the original James Bond, and still my favorite. He was in so many good movies, and even made some bad movies better....

Sad day.

His acting ability was actually enhanced with age, my thoughts. A long ways from the 70s James Bond to the Senior Jones.

Sad indeed .... he was really on another level.

I’m going to watch some of my favourites like The Rock and The Hunt for Red October.

Very early Sean Connery movie . . . . will bring a smile to your face. 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People'. Suitable for all audiences.

Miss(h) Moneypenny must be devastated!

Great actor, he knew how to deliver in his roles, keep you involved, always seemed "natural" in his acts.

Good bye Sir!
