Rodney Stephen "Rod" Steiger (April 14, 1925 July 9, 2002) was an Academy Award-winning American actor known for his performances in such films as On the Waterfront, The Big Knife, Oklahoma!, The Harder They Fall, Across the Bridge, The Pawnbroker, Doctor Zhivago, In the Heat of the Night, and Waterloo as well as the television programs Marty and Jesus of Nazareth.

That's the kind of actor I grew up watching. Today's young men are watching this.

Is it any wonder this generation is lost?
