He was in so many great movies, but I think his best performance was in Three Days of the Condor.

RIP.

You don’t talk much boy. That’s alright. I’m much the same myself.

I cannot think of RR without Paul Newman. Maybe they can hang out in heaven now.

Have respect for the dead, if you can’t say something nice and/or respectful, keep your mouth shut.

I totally agree. Let's leave that disrespectful behavior to the loony left.

His Achilles was believable even though much of Troy wasn’t.

For the most part...yes. However, I will say I like is Sonny Hayes character in F1.

Christian Bale is an excellent actor, but I think I’d have to give Gary Oldman the greatest living actor. He’s a chameleon.

I would go with Billy Bob Thornton.

I really liked him in Three Days of the Condor. It’s been a while since I watched it. Might be a good time for a rewatch.
