To many he is still the quintessential Bond... James Bond. Born in

3rd in the 1953 Mr. Universe contest. When another competitor
suggested he try out for a part in the stage production of South
Pacific, Connery found himself hooked on a new profession--acting. His
role as James Bond was almost accidental; initially Carey Grant was
asked to play the part but demanded too much money. Since landing his

of those roles, Jimmy Malone in The Untouchables, was recognized with
an Oscar in 1987.
