He won an Oscar in 1998 for his role as Irish cop Jim Malone in The Untouchables. During his illustrious career, he also won three Golden Globes and two Bafta awards.
That Oscar win kicked off a resurgence in the late 1980s and early 1990s as he appeared in films such as Robin Hood, Rising Sun, The Russia House, Indiana Jones and The Rock. Finding Forrester, in 2000, was one of his last big movie roles. That was also the same year that he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Connery's final appearance on the silver screen was back in 2012.
