Searching for Sean Trivia Quiz

Answer: Sean Connery

Sean Connery played James Bond for the first five Bond films (of the 'official' Bond franchise; there were a couple of earlier adaptations) starting with 1962's "Dr. No". After the initial five films, he reprised the role in "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971), and in "Never Say Never Again" (1983), which is not considered part of the official series.

Connery won his Academy Award (for Best Supporting Actor) for the 1987 movie "The Untouchables", which starred Kevin Costner as Eliot Ness and Robert de Niro as Al Capone. Connery played Ness' ally Jimmy Malone.

The character of Sean Connery is included in several "SNL" "Celebrity Jeopardy" skits, in which Connery was played by comedian Darrell Hammond.

In addition to "The Lord of the Rings", Bean has appeared in many other films, such as "GoldenEye" (1995), "National Treasure" (2004), "Troy" (2004), and played Zeus in "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" (2010).

More recently, Young has appeared in a recurring role on "The Young and the Restless". She was also in the first season (2010) of "Skating with the Stars", but was the first eliminated. Her 2011 stint in rehab was also shown on the TV show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew".
