Back in 1959 Disney made a film called Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Jimmy O'Dea, the Irish actor and comic played the King of the leprechauns. Sean Connery played the love interest of Darby's daughter. Whilst playing this role was spotted by Albert R. Broccoli who was casting for the first Bond film, Dr. No. You could say Connery found his pot of gold thanks to Darby. The rest is history.
