    Well Mish Moneypenny! Who'd have thunk it. A man of many parts and one accent. Well not that many parts - ageless action hero and er thats it really. Still he does it really well.

    Was watching Outland the other night. A most enjoyable Connery film.

    Yesh!

    from Darby O'Gill to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Hmm, well I'm sure he made some decent movies in between all those.

    I've always been a fan. Lord knows why, when you think of some of the almighty sh*te he's been in. Some truly terrible films that are hypnotically entertaining. Zardoz is a perfect example.

    But he's in some of my favourite films too. Bond, obviously, The Offence, The First Great Train Robbery, The Hunt For Red October and even The Rock is a good old fashioned action romp.

    And apparently he was offered the role of Morpheus in the Matrix. That would have been mental looking.

    It actually is believe it or not! Sorry there's a jokey bit at end of the vid there but he originally said it years before in an interview and then the interviewer brought it up in a more recent interview to see if he regretted what he had said

    Gotta love Connery. Anyone ever watch The Anderson Tapes? Sidney Lumet-directed. Connery was in Hell Drivers too, another great film (that starred the excellent Stanley Baker).
