Sean Connery is and always will be the best and my favorite actor to portray James Bond. My favorite James Bond movie may change periodically, but I’ll always point to Connery’s iconic introduction scene from Dr. No as the true definition of James Bond. RIP.

In this scene from Dr. No (1962), James Bond (Sean Connery) does his best crime scene investigator impression, and let’s just say – an episode of C.S.I. or The First 48 it is not.

Sure he was a British spy, but at least his last action was for the less fortunate and he didn’t see it coming.
007 is often asked who he works for, and the fictional import/export company he says is his employer is called Universal Exports.
It is mentioned several times throughout various James Bond movies, which I have listed below:
