- Well, Jon Pertwee was a comedian before Who. Bill Hartnell always played
- drill sergeants.
-
- Connery's proved that he's very good at non-action-oriented roles --
- Professor Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Marko Raimius,
- Ramirez from Highlander (well, OK, he was a sword-fighter in that one,
- but his main focus was being a mentor-figure)... I think it would be
- great, except that it'll never happen.
-
- Connery can be cerebral (remember Russia House? Professor Jones again?),
- witty, able to handle action scenes, and he's got that Tom Bakerish sort
- of PRESENCE when he speaks. Ah, if only...
