 In the first scene with Geoffrey Rush, a picture of Sean Connery  golfing can be seen. Rushs character, Harry Pendel then goes on to  say that the suit he is tailoring is much like one that Sean Connery  used to wear. This seems to be a reference to Connery in his Bond  days, since he got much of his love of golf from the set of  Goldfinger and since MI6 is featured in Brosnans first scene.
