As a child of the early 80s I think my first memory of him was as Malone in Untouchables (what can I say my parents let me watch anything).

The Hunt for Red October probably after that which to be fair itself had just a mind blowing cast.

The Man Who Would Be King and Time Bandits were strong roles for him as well as the Untouchables.

My first Memory of him was watching Goldfinger with my mom on TV ... stands out because I clearly recall being shocked by the painted gold girl.

One of my favorite actors .... RIP :(

Connery had a major role in the melodrama Another Time, Another Place (1958) as a British reporter named Mark Trevor, caught in a love affair opposite Lana Turner and Barry Sullivan. During filming, star Turner's possessive gangster boyfriend, Johnny Stompanato, who was visiting from Los Angeles, believed she was having an affair with Connery.[45] Connery and Turner had attended West End shows and London restaurants together.[46] Stompanato stormed onto the film set and pointed a gun at Connery, only to have Connery disarm him and knock him flat on his back. Stompanato was banned from the set.[47] Two Scotland Yard detectives advised Stompanato to leave and escorted him to the airport, where he boarded a plane back to the US.[48] Connery later recounted that he had to lie low for a while after receiving threats from men linked to Stompanato's boss, Mickey Cohen.[46]

I want to officially endorse a thing. That thing is that if you bring this up and a person doesn't know who Sean is, you get to backhand them, for Sean. Its Proxy day, son, and you are learning the hard way.

Decent actor but sorry not gonna fall over myself to fawn over someone that was a vocal proponent of beating women.

For those of you who are, enjoy, your hero:
