Sean Connery played a great James Bond, sure but my favorite role of his was Ramirez from The Highlander. “You're at one with all living things. Each man's thoughts and dreams are yours to know. You have power beyond imagination. Use it well, my friend. Don't lose your head.” RIP pic.twitter.com/qXb9x87utP

Icon... legend... these words are often too casually thrown around in our media and social media culture, but not in this instance. You will be dearly missed, good sir; thank you.
