SEAN CONNERY

This clue points to Sean Connery, the original and most famous actor to play James Bond in "111-Across" (likely Dr. No or another Bond film). The hint about his "iconic accent" ties to the italicized clues in the puzzle, which probably contain words or phrases that mimic his distinctive Scottish brogue—like "loch" for "lock" or "nae" for "no." It’s a clever way to nod to his voice while letting the grid reinforce the answer. If you’ve heard Connery’s Bond, the accent is unmistakable.
