Pretty damn good as the Irish beat cop in "The Untouchables" opposite Kevin Costner as Elliot Ness.

Sean Connery was only 12 years old when he sired his son, Harrison Ford, or Junior, apparently, who took on the name of Indiana.
Hard to believe that he was just 57 in Last Crusade.

I remember when he came back as Bond in Never Say Never Again and everyone thought he was so old, he was 53, and kind of made jokes about it.
Tom Cruise was 56 when the latest Mission Impossible came out last year. Crazy.

Reading European newspapers, he was very active and vocal trying to get Scot independence passed several years ago. It didn't.
Haven't heard much from him since.

Orson Welles last role was Unicron in Transformers The Movie.
In all fairness, Transformers: The Movie was awesome and Unicron was the tits, even though he is pretty much Robot Galactus
He was an excellent voice for Unicron.

It's funny Connery passed on Gandalf, but voiced a CGI dragon in "DragonHeart" a few years before "Fellowship of the Ring" came out.

Welles supposedly hated the role and played it as disinterestedly as he could.
That actually worked well for the final product because a goddamn living planet isn’t going to give a shite about the Decepticons or their problems.

It was worse than Sabrina with 55 year old Bogey and 25 year old Audrey Hepburn.
Connery had that moment in Never Say Never Again - although the 23 year difference between him and Basinger isn't quite 30 years, he was an "old" 53 in Never Say Never Again, and Basinger was a "young" 30, so it seemed out of place.
And, Bogey essentially pulled that off in real life - Lauren Bacall was only 5 years older than Audrey.

No doubt. Orson Welles was said to have hated this movie, though. When asked about his role, he not only could not remember his character's name but described his role as "a big toy who attacks a bunch of smaller toys".
There was a rumor that Welles was so ill at the time he couldn't finish his recordings, and the Leonard Nimoy had to take over for him.

Well, Nimoy was the voice of Galvatron, so it wouldn't have been difficult to get him in the recording booth.

That makes it sound like his Bond movies and the two movies you mentioned are the only great movies he made. If you liked him as bond, and in those two, I think you'd like him in the other movies I listed, especially these two:
The Wind and the Lion 1975
The Man Who Would Be King 1975
He's spectacular in both. If you haven't seen them, you should.
