Sean Connery Facts
Terry Gilliam did not intend to cast him as King Agamemnon in Time Bandits (1981), he simply wrote in the screenplay that when Agamemnon took off his helmet he looked "exactly like Sean Connery." To Gilliam's surprise, the script found its way into Connery's hands and Connery subsequently expressed interest in doing the film.

He and his son, actor Jason Connery, have both played Robin Hood. Sean played an aging Robin Hood opposite Audrey Hepburn in Robin and Marian (1976). Jason played Robin Hood, AKA: Robert of Huntingten, in the television series "Robin Hood" (1984). Jason also played Ian Fleming in the television movie The Secret Life of Ian Fleming (1990) (TV). Fleming was the author of the James Bond novels that made Sean famous in 1962.

His father Joseph Connery died of throat cancer at the age of sixty-nine in August 1972.
