A look back at Sean Connery's iconic portrayal of James Bond

Writer: Florey DM

For most people, 31 October means trick-or-treats and Halloween candies, for "James Bond" fans, that particular day in 2020 will forever be known as the day that the original star of the highly popular film franchise passed into the next life. Sir Thomas Sean Connery, often credited professionally as just Sean Connery, passed away at age 90 last weekend, though no cause of death has been revealed to date. The Scottish actor was the first to portray the eponymous suave spy of the "James Bond" franchise, his portrayal so loved that he went on to reprise the role another six times. Let's take a moment to remember Connery in what, to many, is his most iconic big screen role.

After Connery reportedly said he would "never again" star as Bond in 1971, he returned 12 years later to play the iconic role for the seventh and final time in 1983's "Never Say Never Again".
