Neil Connery was a retired Scottish actor, better known as legendary actor Sir Sean Connery’s younger brother. Born during the Great Depression, Neil was raised in the midst of poverty and crisis. However, he was blessed with an older brother who took the reigns of the household at a young age, supporting the family when their father could not. Neil followed in his brother’s footsteps all his life but could not replicate his success. Be it getting into the army (Sean Connery had served in the ‘Royal Navy’ for 3 years) or creating a ‘Bond’-like persona in his debut film, Neil could never escape Sean’s shadow. Sean shielded Neil from the hardships of being raised in a poor family, making sure Neil did not have to give up on the essential experiences in life. It was only fitting that when it came to stepping into the world of cinema, Neil’s first performance was in ‘O.K. Connery,’ an Italian spin-off of the English ‘James Bond’ franchise (which starred his brother). It is believed that the uncanny similarity between Neil and Sean Connery’s voices, earned Neil his role in ‘O.K. Connery’.
