I like the guy, but something about him always seemed a bit creepy. Maybe that was his intent as part of his characters and, if so, he was successful.
The Academy gave him a special Academy Award about 10 years ago he thanked America and talked about how much he loved America. I am going to try to find it. One of the best Actorsnof his generation. MY FAVOTITE YEAR is timeless!
Agreed. Even when he was young and handsome (see below) there's just something a little off-putting about him.
If you want to really be creeped out, go Google some pics of what he looks like now.
He made some sick movies. He played the murdering German general officer in Night of the Generals I think it was. He played a real sicko in that and LOOKED the part!!!
