Jason Connery
| Biography |
The son of actors Sean Connery and Diane Cilento, London-born Jason Connery inaugurated his own film career in 1982 with The Lords of Discipline, which though set in a Southern military academy, was lensed in England. His next film was The Boy Who Had Everything (1983), a title that provided ammunition for those jaundiced critics who assumed that Jason's career was merely a by-product of his parents' fame. In fact, Jason was talented enough to carve out a career without his lofty pedigree, as proven by his swashbuckling star turn in Robin of Sherwood, a well-distributed BBC television series of the late 1980s. In 1990, Jason Connery was wittily cast in the title role in the made-for-cable The Secret Life of Ian Fleming, a fanciful biography of the author/adventurer whose "James Bond" novels had helped catapult Jason's dad Sean to fame.
