Rumour has it that Sean Connery is retiring from acting to concentrate on writing his memoirs. This is a major blow to the film industry - after all, who can they call on now if they require an actor capable of playing a Russian submarine captain (with a Scottish accent)? Or an Irish-American cop (with a Scottish accent)? Or a half-Egpytian, half-Spanish chief metallist to the king of Spain (with a Scottish accent)? Or a big dragon (with a Scottish accent)? Or King Arthur (with a Scottish accent)? Or Robin Hood (with a Scottish accent)? Spotting a pattern here?
He even took the title role in a TV adaptation of a Shakespeare play. I haven't seen it, but I'm willing to bet he used a Scottish accent for the part of Macbeth.
