The tall, handsome and muscular Scottish actor Sean Connery is best known as the original actor to portray James Bond in the hugely successful film franchise, appearing in seven films between 1962 and 1983. Some believed that such a job-defining character would make him in a position to never be able to recover from the role but he proved doubters wrong, becoming one of the most notable film actors of his generation and with a plethora of great movies to his name. The culmination of this was perhaps his most acclamation in 1988 the year that Connery received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of an Irish cop in The Untouchables (1987), stealing the thunder from the main character in the film, Kevin Costner. Connery was named "The Most Beautiful Scot" as well as "Scotland's Most Beautiful Living National Treasure". In 1989, he received the title of "Sexiest Man alive" by People magazine, and in 1999, at the age of 69, he was voted "Sexiest Man of the Century."
