Sean Connery, after leaving the role of James Bond had his career go into a nosedive. He spent most of the the 70s and 80s doing bad movies. His career had gotten so bad that by 1983, he agreed to be James Bond again in a bad remake of Thunderball produced by another company.
Sean Connery's career and popularity did not recover until he filmed in Untouchables in 1987. After that, he transitioned into the older leading man role that he was famous for in Indiana Jones, the Rock, etc.
There's such a huge gap between James Bond and the Untouchables that it's almost like he was two different actors.
