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.

[@Gazzoid]

100% if I see AG cast in a movie I'm gonna watch it, he even made Godfather III watchable!

[@waynej2608]

@@Gazzoid Andy was the best part of Godfather III. He stole the film imho. Great actor, vastly undervalued.

[@longtan6370]

Here Here !!!

[@Harlock2day]

Absolutely

[@PaquetasCar2147]

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 🙏🙏🙏

[@ludmilacox6579]

You can really tell that the letter Andy Garcia read came from his heart.

[@nequito718]

He was sincerely choked up about the experience and the chance to salute someone he admired. Very nicely done.

[@waynej2608]

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.

[@michaelireland7239]

wow i cried when he said my greatest app garcia andy garcia

[@thebordernow]

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.

[@ClaptonDennis]

Andy was close to tears at the end... Love you Sean Connery and Andy Garcia.

[@jonlanier_]

"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.

[@penguinmama88]

RIP sean Connery, what a lovely tribute from Andy Garcia

[@philipdr88]

The Untouchables is one of my favorite movies. Connery was brillant as Malone.

[@nicolegreene2208]

Totally agree

[@nicolegreene2208]

@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 😊

[@lucaslaino7292]

[@SheWoreLemon83]

"come on kid it's not Hamlet..." hahaha. For the heavy roles he usually plays, Andy Garcia has a great sense of humor.

[@Harlock2day]

It is a real shame today's directors overlook a great actor like Andy Garcia.

[@v-town1980]

Totally. Hollywood misses so much great talent.

[@BlueBagger83]

The last thing I legit have seen him in was the 'Ocean's Eleven' sequels... that's been a few years now. Great actor.

[@kennetheady1347]

So true.😡

[@ninline2000]

He's a really decent guy. They hate him.

[@thetwogardens6048]

Yes, it seems he does not get as many roles as you think he should .

[@edkeaton1085]

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.

[@thomaswhite2802]

“SHAKE AND STIR THAT BABY” incredible respect

[@terrycharnley]

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.

[@elibutton]

Sean Connery - may he rest in peace.

[@ediedarleneedgmon5301]

Andy Garcia was phenomenal in that movie, as were the rest of the cast; he’s a class act.

[@cb9220]

4:30 "Shake and stir that, baby". The admiration and sentiment in his voice while he said those 5 words are overwhelming

[@randybrennum5083]

"Come on kid, its not Hamlet" AWESOME

[@cazia9]

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

[@johnnyd2126]

Andy Garcia is such a great actor. I can't think of one movie he wasn't good in. Great guy!!!

[@therespectedlex9794]

Yeah, agreed, but he does a terrible impression of Sean Connery - but even that's refreshing.

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

If you like Andy watch his pet project City Island (2009). It turned out wonderfully.

[@championdesigns]

Um... Godfather 3

[@svenzia]

He is still good in the movie imo.

[@WitnessesOfHope]

@@svenzia No, he was GREAT in the film.

[@rampageclover9788]

Very touching and innocent...I love Andy Gacia

[@11DNA11]

I love that James Earl Jones reaction to the Mon, Ra mon bit xD

[@jerodast]

Watching James Earl Jones laugh is one of the great joys of life :)

[@snakeriverfisher]

yeah i noticed that also, Darth Vader giggling

[@carlosbovia6813]

The fact that he breaks at the end of his speech sums it all...

[@jacktrades24]

You noticed that too. :) What a good guy, and a fine actor.

[@jonlanier_]

[@v-town1980]

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.

[@sameerjoshi4585]

what a touching tribute. such honesty

[@tellurye]

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!

[@djquinn11]

Love Andy Garcia and Sean Connery. Two fantastic actors and men. RIP Sir Sean.

[@Lawrence_619]

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.

[@zetapoetry]

"What are you prepared to do?" R.I.P Sir Sean

[@monex5]

Let me just agree with everyone!! What a speech!!! Love Andy Garcia!!

[@richkosik2854]

He also deserved an OSCAR for his role in a very under-appreciated movie called "FINDING FORRESTER".

[@waynej2608]

I really liked Sean in Hitchcock's, Marnie, too.

[@josephconnors4338]

Great performance I'm that

[@Johisfas]

Too for The Name Of The Rose. ¡Sean simply the best!

[@Johndoe-xw2iu]

Sean was also great in the WWII era movie, 'The Hill'.

Sean was immensely amused. Andy did a fantastic job. He was very sincere, funny but he almost made me cry.

[@charlesc7950]

Still chokes me up when I watch it

[@edkeaton6093]

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.

[@margeshilling7983]

I loved Mr. Connery's performance in this film. A well deserved Oscar.

[@jehormaeche]

Andy. Formidable actor. It's always a pleasure to watch him work.

[@1SaG]

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.

[@allisnotwhatitseems.]

I have loved Garcia from The Untouchables role. I have loved him ever since.

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."

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.

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!

[@nykhlfc6times632]

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.

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.

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.

Great actor praising great actor, what's not to love?

[@theresatrombetta4483]

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.
