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 🙏🙏🙏
Andy did a great job saluting a legend. Andy is a tremendous actor, himself. City Island, Things to do in Denver When You're Dead, Godfather III, Hoodlum, to name a few.
It's not often you get to publicly acknowledge someone who has inspired you and made a real difference in your life; especially acknowledge them while they're still alive and can hear it, and cherish it for still some years to come.
"Male actors should never cry... but always fight the tears... that way the audience will cry for him." -Michael Caine And that is what Andy did... he got us to cry for him.
Andy Garcia is such a fantastic actor and to see him hold his own with the likes of Sean Connery in "The Untouchables" was a sight to see. His speech at Mr. Connery's AFI tribute was truly heartfelt and genuine.
Nice tribute, Andy. Always been a fan of Andy Garcia, doesn't often get the credit he deserves. Great screen presence and has the looks. Plus of course, working with Sean in The Untouchables, he got to learn from one of the best.
@philip moore Andy was good too. He held his own for his character indeed. Sir Connery has just had more time in the biz so his length of work merits the major comment 😊
I saw "The Untouchables" in the theater as a teenager. 30+ years later it is as epic in scale and entertaining as it ever was. So many giants of cinema in the same film, truly one for the ages.
i love how andy made his tribute sincerely personal...when you have these kind of things, there's a lot of platitudes about the actor; andy's speech had real warmth and character because it was an anecdote of what it was like to work with sean
I gotta tell ya...that scene in "Untouchables", where Connery is left for dead..and is found by Garcia and Costner, all-bloody before he raises up off the floor, to tell them "What, are you prepared to do!!"...GETS ME EVERYTIME!..I swear, as many times as Ive seen that flick, that scene STILL brings tears to my eyes. Im so glad he pulled away from Bond, so that he could showcase those true-blue actor's chops. The guy is an all timer.
Andy Garcia is such a very gracious and great actor. His scenes with Sean Connery in the film were really good and you can tell in his speech, that he's such an admirer of his work with this screen legend.
"Male actors should never cry... but always fight the tears... that way the audience will cry for him." -Michael Caine And that is what Andy did... he got us to cry for him.
WOW, what an honor. To admire your mentor, become an successful actor and then act in a movie with him! Super awesome. Andy delivered that with love and class; totally deserving of Sir Sean Connery. Great!
I always thought it was more than a line from a script when Sean Connery's character in Untouchables tells Andy Garcia's character "you're a good cop". Those two had genuine chemistry in that film.
SEAN CONNERY is such a great actor he inspires the ones who act with him to perfect the scenes,he was destined for greatness,his portrayal of BOND,PERFECT,ANDY GARCIA following right after him,superb
Andy Garcia is so underrated as an actor. That was a great and sincere speech for Sir Sean. I always thought that Andy will become the next Al Pacino but for some reason he has been overlooked by many directors for too long!
This speech takes on a special poignancy now that Sean Connery is no longer with us. He had a long life, he did it all, he deserved his Oscar for The Untouchables...RIP, Sir Sean. It was great watching your movies and knowing you'd be great in everything you did.
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?
My favorite line from The Untouchables was when Malone asked Ness if he was going home. Ness replies "yes". Malone then tells Ness, "well then, you've just fulfilled the first rule of law enforcement: make sure that when your shift is over, ya go home alive. Here endeth the lesson."
Two VERY HANDSOME gents that any Lady would love to have the pleasure of their company. = ) Andy's moment here was not only hilarious (Mon...Ra Mon -classic), but very heartfelt and emotional. Well done, and CHEERS! to Mr Connery on his award. I hope he decides to come back to acting again as he is sorely missed.
First time I saw Andy was the Untouchables. Right away, I knew he'd be a Star. Worked with him years later. He was nothing but pure gracious and generous giving as an artist...a real Mensch!
I felt sad when I heard he died and then I had a dream about him checking into heaven, and the angel who checked him in smiled at him and said “Name please?”He looked up at the angel, smiled, and said, “Bond, James Bond.”
What an amazing speech that was Andy, and I've always loved The Untouchables my favourite characters were Sean's and yours R.I.P. Sir Sean Connery we love you and will miss you
Great speech Andres Garcia and you are my inspiration for always wanting me to join acting! I hope you travel back to your hometown here in Miami, Florida so that I can shake your hand and just tell you thank you for all you have done! Thank you to Mr. Connery for his outstanding performances as well and may you RIP!
If you ever want to see a great movie featuring Andy Garcia, The Lost CIty, it's literally our life as a Cuban coming from Cuba to the United states in 1970 , after living in communism. He is an amazing man. My dream is too meet him, one day I will.
One of my longtime favorite actors, Andy Garcia (see Black Rain also), this is just another demonstration of the true gentleman and professional in his craft. That was a great delivery to a great icon, from a great icon.
Sean Connery, like Richard Burton and Richard Harris, had such beautiful strong deep voices. If i could have one wish come true it would be to have a voice like one of them. Any woman would love to have a man with a voice like that.
I have only special words for this man...ANDY GARCIA...i adore this man for many reasons. One of these reasons is because i think he` s the sexiest man alive, as far as im concerned. And ofcourse exellent actor, and a huge heart thats shown for all to see.. i dont know alot more that there is about him, but i only imagine that its probably awsome just like everything else he brings as an actor.
I recall queuing for ages at age 10, on my own, to see the double bill of Goldfinger and Thunderball. I was hooked. My hubby was even his spitting image. A great, fine actor. I also loved The Man Who Would Be King.
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!
You can really tell that the letter Andy Garcia read came from his heart.
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.
100% if I see AG cast in a movie I'm gonna watch it, he even made Godfather III watchable!
@@Gazzoid Andy was the best part of Godfather III. He stole the film imho. Great actor, vastly undervalued.
Here Here !!!
Absolutely
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 🙏🙏🙏
RIP sean Connery, what a lovely tribute from Andy Garcia
Wweeeeepppaa
He was sincerely choked up about the experience and the chance to salute someone he admired. Very nicely done.
Andy did a great job saluting a legend. Andy is a tremendous actor, himself. City Island, Things to do in Denver When You're Dead, Godfather III, Hoodlum, to name a few.
wow i cried when he said my greatest app garcia andy garcia
It's not often you get to publicly acknowledge someone who has inspired you and made a real difference in your life; especially acknowledge them while they're still alive and can hear it, and cherish it for still some years to come.
Andy was close to tears at the end...
Love you Sean Connery and Andy Garcia.
"Male actors should never cry... but always fight the tears... that way the audience will cry for him." -Michael Caine
And that is what Andy did... he got us to cry for him.
"come on kid it's not Hamlet..." hahaha. For the heavy roles he usually plays, Andy Garcia has a great sense of humor.
Andy Garcia is such a fantastic actor and to see him hold his own with the likes of Sean Connery in "The Untouchables" was a sight to see. His speech at Mr. Connery's AFI tribute was truly heartfelt and genuine.
Nice tribute, Andy. Always been a fan of Andy Garcia, doesn't often get the credit he deserves. Great screen presence and has the looks. Plus of course, working with Sean in The Untouchables, he got to learn from one of the best.
The Untouchables is one of my favorite movies. Connery was brillant as Malone.
Totally agree
@philip moore Andy was good too. He held his own for his character indeed. Sir Connery has just had more time in the biz so his length of work merits the major comment 😊
@@nicolegreene2208 one of the fee tines i saw him acting good. Giuseppe was awesome
They don't make films like this anymore
@@abdulmumin6251 thank fuck it's shit
Andy Garcia was phenomenal in that movie, as were the rest of the cast; he’s a class act.
4:30 "Shake and stir that, baby". The admiration and sentiment in his voice while he said those 5 words are overwhelming
I saw "The Untouchables" in the theater as a teenager. 30+ years later it is as epic in scale and entertaining as it ever was. So many giants of cinema in the same film, truly one for the ages.
And even now, its not aged one bit.
Jesus, when Andy's voice cracked a bit at the end, I watered up like a kid. And Jones' laughing at 04:09 is fantastic! God bless you, Sean.
Sean Connery - may he rest in peace.
“SHAKE AND STIR THAT BABY” incredible respect
It is a real shame today's directors overlook a great actor like Andy Garcia.
Totally. Hollywood misses so much great talent.
The last thing I legit have seen him in was the 'Ocean's Eleven' sequels... that's been a few years now. Great actor.
So true.😡
He's a really decent guy. They hate him.
Yes, it seems he does not get as many roles as you think he should .
i love how andy made his tribute sincerely personal...when you have these kind of things, there's a lot of platitudes about the actor; andy's speech had real warmth and character because it was an anecdote of what it was like to work with sean
Andy Garcia is such a great actor. I can't think of one movie he wasn't good in. Great guy!!!
Yeah, agreed, but he does a terrible impression of Sean Connery - but even that's refreshing.
If you like Andy watch his pet project City Island (2009). It turned out wonderfully.
Um... Godfather 3
He is still good in the movie imo.
@@svenzia No, he was GREAT in the film.
Very touching and innocent...I love Andy Gacia
Garcia
What a beautiful moment, could listen to this speech all day.
I gotta tell ya...that scene in "Untouchables", where Connery is left for dead..and is found by Garcia and Costner, all-bloody before he raises up off the floor, to tell them "What, are you prepared to do!!"...GETS ME EVERYTIME!..I swear, as many times as Ive seen that flick, that scene STILL brings tears to my eyes. Im so glad he pulled away from Bond, so that he could showcase those true-blue actor's chops. The guy is an all timer.
what a touching tribute. such honesty
what genuine praise for a fantastic actor.
Andy Garcia is such a very gracious and great actor. His scenes with Sean Connery in the film were really good and you can tell in his speech, that he's such an admirer of his work with this screen legend.
The fact that he breaks at the end of his speech sums it all...
You noticed that too. :) What a good guy, and a fine actor.
"Male actors should never cry... but always fight the tears... that way the audience will cry for him." -Michael Caine
And that is what Andy did... he got us to cry for him.
I love that James Earl Jones reaction to the Mon, Ra mon bit xD
Watching James Earl Jones laugh is one of the great joys of life :)
yeah i noticed that also, Darth Vader giggling
Sean was immensely amused. Andy did a fantastic job. He was very sincere, funny but he almost made me cry.
WOW, what an honor. To admire your mentor, become an successful actor and then act in a movie with him! Super awesome. Andy delivered that with love and class; totally deserving of Sir Sean Connery. Great!
Let me just agree with everyone!! What a speech!!! Love Andy Garcia!!
Love Andy Garcia and Sean Connery. Two fantastic actors and men. RIP Sir Sean.
Andy was so lucky to show respects to both Sean Connery and Al Pacino.
I always thought it was more than a line from a script when Sean Connery's character in Untouchables tells Andy Garcia's character "you're a good cop". Those two had genuine chemistry in that film.
Still chokes me up when I watch it
Andy. Formidable actor. It's always a pleasure to watch him work.
Just watched The Untouchables so that I could introduce it to my nephew; totally holds its own with other greats after nearly 30 years.
Brilliant movie, with a sublime cast.
It'll never go out of style.
Vietnamita
Just watched it with the family yesterday. Man does it ever hold up! They all thought ' The Untouchables ' was from like 2010. ha ha. Its timeless.
the background music in the movie is just great at helping build the intensity of the scenes.
That was a lovely, classy tribute. Well done, Mr. Garcia.
"Come on kid, its not Hamlet" AWESOME
Sean Connery and Andy are both class actors.
SEAN CONNERY is such a great actor he inspires the ones who act with him to perfect the scenes,he was destined for greatness,his portrayal of BOND,PERFECT,ANDY GARCIA following right after him,superb
I loved Mr. Connery's performance in this film. A well deserved Oscar.
"What are you prepared to do?" R.I.P Sir Sean
I've never seen Sean Connery look so touched
"my character doesnt know theres a camera in the room" haha! Andy youre the Don!!
He also deserved an OSCAR for his role in a very under-appreciated movie called "FINDING FORRESTER".
I really liked Sean in Hitchcock's, Marnie, too.
Great performance I'm that
Too for The Name Of The Rose. ¡Sean simply the best!
Sean was also great in the WWII era movie, 'The Hill'.
Andy Garcia is so underrated as an actor. That was a great and sincere speech for Sir Sean. I always thought that Andy will become the next Al Pacino but for some reason he has been overlooked by many directors for too long!

Andy Garcia was so cool in that movie.
I have loved Garcia from The Untouchables role. I have loved him ever since.
I love Andy Garcia’s stories the most from these AFI awards
"It's not Hamlet!"
CLASSic......
Andy is a pride for all Cubans, he is the most famous Cuban actor in the world
Two VERY HANDSOME gents that any Lady would love to have the pleasure of their company. = )
Andy's moment here was not only hilarious (Mon...Ra Mon -classic), but very heartfelt and emotional. Well done, and CHEERS! to Mr Connery on his award. I hope he decides to come back to acting again as he is sorely missed.
That was so beautiful I started to cry a little bit myself🤓
First time I saw Andy was the Untouchables. Right away, I knew he'd be a Star. Worked with him years later. He was nothing but pure gracious and generous giving as an artist...a real Mensch!
wow ... had me in tears for best thank you speech. Awesome !!
I felt sad when I heard he died and then I had a dream about him checking into heaven, and the angel who checked him in smiled at him and said “Name please?”He looked up at the angel, smiled, and said, “Bond, James Bond.”
And the angel replied, na your better than him, your Sean conery.
That was touching... thank you Andy!!!
RIP Sir Sean. Great tribute from a great actor in Andy Garcia!
Beautiful, left me teary eyed. RIP Sean Connery.
Thank you for this wonderful speech Andy.
So great - Connery is unequalled, so true. Andy was awesome!!
What an amazing speech that was Andy, and I've always loved The Untouchables my favourite characters were Sean's and yours R.I.P. Sir Sean Connery we love you and will miss you
I don't know why, but I find these videos fascinating. Grats to AFI to make a thing I want to watch.
Great speech Andres Garcia and you are my inspiration for always wanting me to join acting! I hope you travel back to your hometown here in Miami, Florida so that I can shake your hand and just tell you thank you for all you have done!

Such a class act!
Andy was Badass on the Untouchables.
Andy is the ONE that mad Godfather 3. He did his charictor was was flawless. This comes from a true Godfather fan, ME🤟🏻✊😎
Aww, that was so sweet.
Mon...Ramon...I got tears on that one. beautiful.
RIP, such a brilliant performance
Love this actor! Check him out in Internal Affairs if you have not seen it yet!
One of my longtime favorite actors, Andy Garcia (see Black Rain also), this is just another demonstration of the true gentleman and professional in his craft. That was a great delivery to a great icon, from a great icon.
Tributes don't get better than that! Nor do they get more humble!
So classy
Sean Connery was crying.
Andy Garcia was great in Untouchables and Godfather 3
Love 'The Untouchables' Connery nailed it, as do all the cast too
Wow, what a GREAT tribute!
That was a beautiful tribute.
Sean Connery, like Richard Burton and Richard Harris, had such beautiful strong deep voices. If i could have one wish come true it would be to have a voice like one of them. Any woman would love to have a man with a voice like that.
Come on, it doesn't get anymore heartfelt than that. What a guy.

And ofcourse exellent actor, and a huge heart thats shown for all to see.. i dont know alot more that there is about him, but i only imagine that its probably awsome just like everything else he brings as an actor.
one day some young actor will do something as beautiful for Andy.
That was beautiful - artists inspiring other artists...angels inspiring other angels - these are members of my church.
He’s like a little kid on that stage, speaking to his hero. When he breaks dating Garcia, Andy Garcia, it absolutely gets me
I loved The Untouchables! Great film, great actors!
So beautiful words from García, Andy García :)
I like Andy Garcia and Sean Connery was a legend.
I recall queuing for ages at age 10, on my own, to see the double bill of Goldfinger and Thunderball. I was hooked. My hubby was even his spitting image. A great, fine actor. I also loved The Man Who Would Be King.
RIP Sir Connery... The rock was awesome... Highland... The Untouchable and even the league of extraordinary gentlemen. 😇

Great actor praising great actor, what's not to love?
Before Hollywood ran out of class.
@Peder Hansen What does that have to do with this video?
@Peder Hansen What the fuck does Trump have to do with Sean Connery and Andy Garcia? Lol
@Peder Hansen, why oh why do you have to introduce ANY politics into a night such as this, just a superfluous comment.
@Victor Bastos Too much bull shit comments. Big talk small dick.
@Peder Hansen MAGA
