Like many people who end up in the entertainment business, Connery first came in contact with it because he needed some money. After developing his muscular physique in gyms, he took odd jobs which including back-stage work at a local theater. When a touring show of South Pacific came through, Connery tried out and got a part as a "beef-cake" extra. During the tour he got hooked on show business, and decided to take up the study of acting. After that he just "worked his way up the ranks."
