Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. This very famous Scottish actor, who was born in 1930, is noted for the strong and powerful movie characters he has always played. Yet as a young man, he was scrawny, short, and very shy. Who do you think he could be? "

...1. Mel Gibson 2. Ewan McGregor 3. Sean Connery 4. Billy Connolly Over the course of his career, the burly Scotsman has won one Oscar, two BAFTAs, and three Golden Globes. He's probably best known for playing the improbable character James Bond in seven different movies. This is somewhat unfortunate, because his acting skills are far greater than those displayed in these movies. Connery's ancestors actually came from Ireland to live in Scotland, so if the Irish wished to claim him as well, they possibly could. I hope they don't. Just to mix his genes up a little bit more, one side of Connery's family is Catholic, while the other is Protestant. One wonders how they every managed to get together in those times! Connery was very small in size at school, and shy to boot, and it wasn't until he hit his late teen years that he did something about this. He put himself through a course of intensive body building training. In the interim, before he branched out into acting, he also worked as a milkman, joined the Royal Navy for a short stint, drove a lorry, became a lifeguard, did a little bit of modelling, and, of all things, also polished coffins. He was still being described by those who knew him in his mid teen years as a rather shy young man. One of the artists he modelled for, a Richard de Marco, wrote of Connery that he was "very straight, slightly shy, too, too beautiful for words, a virtual Adonis". No wonder Connery headed straight for the gym! This resulted, physically, in his finally being known as "Big Tam" to his mates. He also grew taller during this time until he reached his ultimate height of six foot, two inches. Official sites relating to Connery state that he eventually came third in a Mr Universe contest, and once defeated a gang of six hoods single-handedly when they attacked him. One wonders at reading this, whether they are referring to Connery the person, or Connery as James Bond. Sean Connery branched into acting in the late 1950s and from that time, he never looked back. Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, initially didn't want Connery to play the role of his hero, and remarked of Connery that he was too big and unrefined. However, after the success of the first Bond film "Dr No" (1962), Fleming wrote a Scottish heritage into Bond's family line. After his success as that character, Connery refused to play him any longer, stating that he was "fed up to here with the whole Bond bit". It was from this time that we saw a much more accomplished actor emerge. He won a BAFTA for "The Name of the Rose" in 1986; an Oscar for "The Untouchables" in 1987; and played many other powerful roles which all added to his acting reputation. In 2011, he retired from all further public appearances, both as an actor or a speaker. Knighted by the Queen in 2000, Connery has spent much of his spare time pushing for Scotland's independence as a separate country once again! He also played his favourite game of golf until his health began to deteriorate following a tumour on his kidney and ongoing heart problems. What with all his acting awards, Connery has also been described in various polls as "Scotland's Greatest Living National Treasure" and "Sexiest Man of the Century" and "Sexiest Man Alive". Pretty good, wouldn't you agree, for a shy young fellow who used to polish coffins for a living?
