Sean Connery has had secret throat cancer fears for 20 years, but doctors have now given him the all-clear.

The legendary actor has been having tests for two decades to determine whether growths in his throat were cancerous. His brother Neil has now revealed he and the star both suffer from polyps.

Sean Connery isn't done doing action movies just yet.

Sean says he wants to play James Bond's father.

Not everybody wants to fill the sleek shoes of the British spy James Bond. It's been revealed that Ewan McGregor was offered the role of the masterful 007 agent, but eventually turned it down.

"Casino Royale" director Martin Campbell offered the role to the "Moulin Rouge" actor in the early casting days but the Scottish actor turned down the offer over fears of being typecast.

Any actor would probably do anything to be given the chance of playing James Bond, but for Daniel Craig it wasn't that easy.

The new Bond actor almost turned down the chance of a lifetime to play the British spy because he didn't want to be typecast.

On Tuesday, actor Wesley Snipes was charged on eight counts of tax fraud accusing him of withholding $12 million from the government in false refund claims.

According to an indictment unsealed in Tampa, Florida, Snipes, 44, is also charged with failing to file tax returns for six years.
