The Man Who Would Be King is great.

One of my favorite "deliveries" from The Hunt For Red October:

"Anatoli, you're afraid of our fleet. Well, you should be. Personally, I'd give us...one chance in three. More tea anyone?". (The pause before the verdict is awesome.)

Between his sometimes-menacing appearance, a wonderful musical accent --- 'Rrrrrrraisuli'! . . . and that mischievous twinkle in his eye? . . .

'To Theodore Roosevelt . . .

You are like the wind and I like the lion.

You form the tempest, the sand stings my eyes, and the ground is parched. I roar in defiance . . . but you do not hear

. . . is there not one thing in your life that was worth losing everything for? . . .'

Thank you, Mr Connery

Loved his acting in all forms.
Anyone who could raise their prominent eyebrow by an inch and a half is hella cool to me

Here is a good shot, laid back.
