Connery beats Irish pair as top British actor in US

Sean Connery has been voted the top British actor in America, but two Irish actors are featured in the list — and referred to as British.

Connery, 83, saw off stiff competition from the likes of Daniel Craig and Colin Firth to top the annual Q Score Chart.

Silence Of The Lambs star Anthony Hopkins was second while former Man from Uncle star David McCallum was in fourth place.
