He was the first actor to play the fictional secret agent James Bond in a theatrical film, starring in six EON Bond films between 1962 and 1971, and again in another non-EON Bond film in 1983. He was also known for his roles as the Arab Chieftain Raisuli in The Wind and the Lion (1975); Jimmy Malone in The Untouchables (1987), for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor; Mark Rutland in Marnie (1964); Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez in Highlander (1986); Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989); Captain Marko Aleksandrovich Ramius in The Hunt for Red October (1990); John Patrick Mason in The Rock (1996); and Allan Quatermain in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003). Along with his Academy Award, he won two BAFTA Awards, three Golden Globes, and a Henrietta Award.
