Despite being a glorified extra, Kove learned valuable lessons from Connery. According to the Daily Record, he shared, “I learned one thing. I learned how to listen by watching Sean Connery.”

Kove bumped into Connery 15 years later on a tennis court. The student couldn’t resist introducing himself and asking if Connery remembered him. However, to his surprise, Connery had no recollection of their previous encounter. Nevertheless, the two decided to hit the ball, and Kove was overjoyed to play tennis with his childhood hero. He shared, “We were hitting the ball and he was terrible. He had a back problem and he was cursing as we do as teenagers and I’m cracking up hysterically.”
