Thomas Sean Connery was born in Edinburgh's Fountainbridge area on 25 August 1930. The elder of two boys, he left school at an early age and took his first job as a milkman, complete with horse-drawn cart. Various jobs included a stint as a bricklayer, work as a lifeguard and sitting as an artist's model for the Edinburgh College of Art. Under the name Thom Connery, he was placed third in the tall man's division of the 1950 Mr Universe contest.
Connery's big screen career took a dip after Bond, but was revived with The Untouchables in 1987, with his role as tough gang-busting Irish policeman Jim Malone winning him an Oscar for best supporting actor.
