Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which "Saturday Night Live" cast member did a very unique impression of Sean Connery for the numerous times SNL did their "Celebrity Jeopardy" skits?

Answer: Darrell Hammond

Darrell Hammonds's take on Sean Connery was always hilarious. He was a terrific foil to Will Farrell's very serious Alex Trebek. He always had some choice words about Trebek's mother.

2. In which part of the United Kingdom was Sean Connery born on August 25, 1930?

Answer: Scotland

Connery is a native of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh. Interestingly the next four men who portrayed James Bond after Connery were all from different locales. George Lazenby was from Australia, Roger Moore was from England, Timothy Dalton was from Wales, and Pierce Brosnan was from Ireland.

3. Which was the last James Bond movie that Sean Connery starred in, which was released in 1983?

Answer: Never Say Never Again

When Connery starred in "Never Say Never Again" in 1983 it had been twelve years since he had last portrayed Bond in "Diamonds Are Forever". The plot of the movie however was a rip off of the 1965 Bond movie "Thunderball" in which Connery had to track down some stolen nuclear bombs.

4. What was the name of the police officer that Sean Connery portrayed in "The Untouchables" that won him a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award?

Answer: James Malone

Connery's portrayal of veteran Chicago cop Jimmy Malone not only won Sean an Academy Award, it also revitalized his career. He proved he still had it as a leading man even as he was closing in on sixty years of age.

Answer: A Bridge Too Far

"A Bridge Too Far" was the account of a 1944 ally air drop of over 35,000 men behind the German front lines into Holland. Connery portrayed a British Air Corp General that lost the vast majority of his force before he is ordered to retreat.

Answer: Barbara Walters

The remark Connery made during the interview with Barbara Walters echoed sentiments he had expressed in a 1965 interview he had done with "Playboy". No one could ever accuse Connery of mincing his words.

7. In which 1988 movie did Sean Connery play a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army who teams up with Mark Harmon to solve a murder mystery at a military base?

Answer: The Presidio

"The Presidio" is set in San Francisco with the famous military base as the back drop to the murder mystery. Meg Ryan also starred in the movie as Connery's daughter.

8. To which actress did Sean Connery present the 2003 Best Supporting Actress Academy Award?

Answer: Catherine Zeta-Jones

Connery presented the award to his "Entrapment" co-star. Zeta-Jones was roughly about 8 months pregnent at the time.

9. What 1968 movie did Sean Connery turn down the lead role in that ended up going to Steve McQueen that Connery admitted was a huge mistake on his part?

Answer: The Thomas Crown Affair

"The Thomas Crown Affair" seemed to be almost written for Connery, but he passed and McQueen jumped on the role. The remake of the movie did however star Pierce Brosnan, so at least one Bond actor had the smarts to take the role.

10. Which Academy Award winning actor co-starred with Sean Connery in the 1975 movie version of Rudyard Kipling's book "The Man Who Would Be King"?

Answer: Michael Caine

Michael Caine and Sean Connery have been long time friends and "The Man Who Would Be King" is one of several films in which they have teamed up for great performances. Rumor has it the pair has put away quite a few bottles of scotch in their time.
