The passing of #SeanConnery today is so sad. Never has an actor made such an influence on my life. From James Bond to The Man Who Would Be King, Last Crusade, Untouchables, even Zardoz - he never had a bad performance.

It's 2003, the hottest July in Las Vegas, Twentieth Century Fox descended on #thevenetian hotel for #LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentelman junket. It had to be 115 degrees in the shade and to have Sean Connery arrive by gondola to greet the press and fans who were waiting outside in the heat at the front of the hotel, was a sight to see.

Getting my five minutes with Sean Connery has been a personal and professional highlight for me and having him come across as the most warm and humorous man, put me right at ease.

I have not seen this interview in 17 years and I can't believe it has survived.
