Damn, this is the first I've heard of the end of the Great Scot.
Weirdly enough the first time I can remember him in a film was Indy (which I thought he was great in) and then I kind of went backwards from there (Highlander, Untouchables, small but memorable scene as Richard the Lionheart in Robin Hood - with a Scottish accent 😂 and the of course as the first and best ever Bond).
He was just so farking cool. They don't make them like him anymore.

Indeed. His era of old school legends is rapidly dwindling. Just a completely different breed to today’s film stars.
Clint, stay with us !!!!!

@MN5 I saw a barely recognisable Gene Hackman the other day. I believe he’s around 90 as well. All the great tough guys are getting so old now.
Age is such a fluffybunny of a thing. Not nice seeing SC a year or two back on the news at Wimbledon looking really old and frail, Clint looked no better in the Mule.
Add Morgan Freeman to that list as well

Bill Nighy?

I have Highlander in my collection, but it would be at least 20 years since I watched it, and I am not sure it is the type of movie that will age well.

Those wires in the final scene were bad enough twenty years ago!

I'm referring to legends. Not old blokes who have occasionally funny cameos in Movies.

Apparently Connery was quite a legitimately tough dude in real life if this story is anything to go by.....
Sean Connery Once Beat Up 6 Gang Members who Wanted to Steal his Jacket | The Vintage News
Sir Thomas Sean Connery is probably the most famous Scottish actor, best known for his role as the secret agent James Bond. Ever since his first
....and before Roger Moore took over and some of the ahem, less realistic elements became fashionable in Bond films there was this scrap which Connery and Grant did without any stunt doubles
Robert Shaw didn’t have much more luck in Jaws!

I am surprised he won an Oscar, he wasn’t a great actor in my opinion.
Caught some of his early stuff on a vintage film channel a few months back. Def not a De Niro or Olivier but pretty gifted. The Offence is a brilliant piece of acting

Screen presence in spades. Seems lacking from many of today's stars - gifted though they are.
