Dashiell Connery was born on June 3, 1997, and is at the earliest stages of his career as an actor and has already begun to make a name for himself due to his close appearance and charisma that evokes his famous grandfather, Sean Connery.
Dashiell Connery is the son of actors Jason Connery (b. Jan 11, 1963) and Mia Sara (b. June 19, 1967). Jason and Mia met on the set of Bullet to Beijing in 1995.
The two were married in 1996 and had Dashiell a year into their marriage but divorced in 2002. Dashiell’s grandparents on his father’s side were James Bond actor Sean Connery and actress Diane Cilento.
Dashiell Connery has a background of Scottish, English, Irish, and Italian heritage.
What does he think of his grandfather?
Dashiell Connery seems to respect and admire his grandfather. His acknowledgment of his grandfather is particularly notable as many parallels have been suggested between his looks and charisma and those of his paternal grandfather.
Indeed, most articles referencing him seem to focus heavily on his connection to his grandfather. His early career moves seem to be a way of forging his own identity, given the fame of his family.
Acting Career
Though Dashiell Connery’s career is still in the early stages, he seems to be getting more complex and prominent work year after year. His first role would be thanks to his father, however.
Dashiell had a small role in the film Pandemic, directed by his father, Jason Connery. The sci-fi thriller was written by Aaron Pope and followed a veterinarian who finds herself working with other survivors in a pandemic that afflicts humans and animals alike.
The film starred Ray Wise, Graham McTavish, Alesha Rucci, and Peter Holden. While the film was a boilerplate B-thriller, it started Dashiell’s career.
As Dashiell continued his education, he appeared in a couple of music videos, including Twenty One Pilots’ “My Blood” (2018) and Sam Hunt’s “Young Once” (2020).
By 2021, Dashiell Connery’s career would begin in earnest. Dashiell Connery’s first notable role would be in the police drama The Rookie in 2021, playing the character of Angus Nettle in the episode “In Justice.”
Tulsa King
Following this role, he would make several other appearances throughout 2021 and 2022. He would most notably land a lead role in the Sylvester Stallone-anchored crime drama Tulsa King for Paramount Plus.
Interestingly, Dashiell Connery appears in more show episodes than Sylvester Stallone, with ten credited episodes as opposed to Stallone’s 4.
Dashiell Connery has also established he does not want to be seen as overly serious, either, appearing in two strange, comedic films.
The first was the drug comedy I, Challenger (2022). That same year he would be one of the leads in a crime romance film about clowns called Clowning.
His early career has proved varied, and with the role in Tulsa King, he now has a prestige drama series under his belt, signifying a potential long-term career.
