"When you're with Sean, you learn
pretty quickly what your own place in the galaxy is-and
it pales," said Kevin Costner. This daring Double
O-Seven has contributed much more to the film industry
than just good looks and action flicks. His raw talent
and rare luck, (oh yeah, did we mention skill?), helped
him to perfectly define a role, and transcend it as well.
He perfected James Bond, and as is evident, no one has
been able to replace him in the later series. It's because
of this infamous role that he had such a successful later
career. Smaller films, like "A Fine Madness"
(1966), and even flops, like "Cuba" (1979),
and "Wrong Is Right" (1982), have been easily
forgiven because the public knew the talent was there
and that other blockbusters were coming.
"The Man Who Would Be King"
(1975), and "Robin and Marian" (1976), are some
of his finer roles, despite their late arrival in his
career. Then, he continued to dumbfound us in small but
spectacular roles, where he portrayed their significance,
in such films as "Indiana Jones And the Last Crusade"
(1989), and "Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves"
(1992). As with the latter, blink and you may miss him,
but see it and you will be left breathless. He just has
a way of leaving such a strong impression on the audience,
no matter how small the role. His other unbowed hero-flicks
are "The Untouchables" (1987), "Dr. NO"
(1962), and "The Russia House" (1990). (CD) |
