There is a very funny clip on Youtube of Connery receiving a special award at a star studded hollywood ceremony and all these celebs come on to pay tribute to him in front of a large screen on which images flash up. Mike Myers comes on dressed in the full highland regalia and does his perfect scotty accent and proceeds to suggest that he may have had a "man crush" on Connery at which point a very large photo of Connery appears on the screen behind him of Connery in his body building days striking a very "artistic" pose. Its really hilarious....as is that photo you have posted! Nice one!

ps its the AFI award ceremony.

William Franklyn would have made a good Bond IMHO. I have seen the name of Roy Thinnes on other lists, good actor but never thought of him as a Bond.
