Live Poll: R.I.P. Sean Connery
Intro:
The IMDb Poll Board Users are very sad to hear that Sir Sean Connery passed away on 10/31/2020. Our condolences go to his wife and his family.
Before going into acting, Connery had many different jobs, such as a milkman, lorry driver, a laborer, and bodybuilder. At the age of 23 he had the chance to become a professional football player, but decided to join movie business. For his success as an actor, he was knighted by Queen Elisabeth II. on 06/05/2000 as a Knight Bachelor.
Sean Connery was versatile in many ways. Most of his characters were sympathetic lead characters, like his signature role as the MI6 scecret agent James Bond. His range was wide, one time he played an environment scientist, another time played a submarine captain or a monk. His tremendous strong and charismatic personality impressed & entertained the audiences for decades.
Suggestions:
Please suggest in the form like the examples on the list. This time without mentioning the suggestors.

Very good poll and a sensitively written intro. May I suggest some small edits? (below in bold)
Before going into acting, Connery had many different jobs, such as milkman, lorry driver, laborer, and bodybuilder. At the age of 23 he had the chance to become a professional football player, but decided to join the movie business. For his success as an actor, he was knighted by Queen Elisabeth II on 06/05/2000 as a Knight Bachelor.
Most of his characters were sympathetic lead characters but Connery was versatile. His range was wide: once he played an environment scientist, another time played a submarine captain, and once a monk. His tremendously strong and charismatic personality impressed and entertained the audiences for decades.
Which of his performances would you consider to be his strongest?

What about his brilliant performance in The Hill (1965) as Joe Roberts the British Army Sergeant Major busted to Trooper for classic British Military punishment?
