    Andy Garcia has such a lovely, warm heart. His AFI speech for Al Pacino was equally touching. I hope that one day Andy becomes the recipient of such a speech, because he is a fantastic actor in his own right.

      AG very underrated actor. Brilliant also in Internal Affairs & Black Rain but my favourite film of his was one that didn't get an awful lot of attention at the time of its release: - Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead. Btw, RIP Sir Sean Connery 🙏🙏🙏

    Touching and personal ... that involuntary smile Sean Connery gives when Andy Garcia walks out at 0:08 says it all ... as does how Andy Garcia wraps up his piece
    One question: where were his great pals Michael Caine & Roger Moore?

    Seeing "Dr. NO" on the 'big screen' in the early 1960's was my first exposure to Sean Connery as a headliner & the preeminent 007 of all time, the Ian Fleming, who was really James Bond during WW2. Great writing, Great acting!

    Andy was so lucky to show respects to both Sean Connery and Al Pacino.

    He’s like a little kid on that stage, speaking to his hero. When he breaks dating Garcia, Andy Garcia, it absolutely gets me

    Garcia should have been in more movies, really liked his acting,
