Connery was born in Edinburgh, Scotland to a rainbow family with a cleaner mother and a truck driver father.
Until he decided to become an actor at the age of 23, he worked in a plethora of casual jobs, including as a body model and milkman.
In the early years of his career, he played a number of memorable roles in television and film.
The big breakthrough came in 1962 when he got the lead role in an adaptation of Ian Fleming's bestseller called "Dr. No". Connery played a secret agent in the British intelligence organization MI6 called James Bond.
"Dr. No" quickly became a box office success. Great, Connery has become a superstar, and Bond's character has yielded a series of dozens of films, which is not yet complete.
Although Connery preferred to retire from the series early, so as not to limit himself as an actor, in the eyes of fans of the series he is still considered the best Bond, with those who came after him (Roger Moore, George Laznebi, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig ) Are just pale imitations of the original.
After retiring from the role of James Bond, he played many and varied roles and gained immense appreciation.
Among others, he played Henry, the scattered father of Indiana Jones in Steven Spielberg's "The Last Crusade" (1989), Detective William of Baskerville in Jean-Jacques Ano's "Downloaded Name" and the Russian Navy officer seeking to defect To the West in John McTearnan's The Red October Chase.
During this period he also received his only Oscar, for the role of Jimmy Mellon, the idealistic monkey cop in Brian de Palma's 'Unbiased'.
