It’s almost instinctive to imitate Sean Connery’s famed Scottish burr when you speak about him. Along with his handsome looks and Mr. Universe physique, Connery’s distinctive voice is what made him famous. Connery’s voice not only helped make him become one of the most popular actors of the twentieth century, but it also helped him earn numerous distinguished honors including acting awards, knighthood, and even People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man of the Century.”
One of the reasons why Connery has such a famous voice is because he hardly ever changed the way he spoke, no matter what part he was playing. While Connery played characters from all over the world, almost all of them ended up suspiciously sounding like they were born in Edinburgh. Despite strong performances in these roles, Connery’s inability to alter his accent often added some unintentional humour to his movies.

Well, At Least I Won't Get Called Poncy Again. I Hope....
As you read this week's column, I'll already be attending the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour down in Pasadena, California. And before I've attended a single panel, I can already pretty much guarantee this is going to be one of the weaker (gay) tours in memory. For starters, CBS hasn't given us a single screener for their two new shows (which sound utterly conventional and appear to be gay free. Shock!) and even ABC which is reliably gay-friendly, doesn't have anything that looks terribly promising.
Honestly, Starz looks to be the best bet between Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and Torchwood, but since for some reason, Russell T Davies won't be available for me to interview during the TCA, even that won't take up quite as much as my time. Fortunately, Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight is available...

Leave it to those Nike people to stir the pot. They’ve just released a new ad with The Man of the Century Tiger Woods using his father’s voice and a sad, remorseful looking Tiger. Being a contrarian I actually like Tiger now after the scandal. I thought he had no personality and turns out he had Lots and Lots of personality. My Man! Anyway here’s the ad. What do you think?...
