Funny, I was remembering the wrong movie, and thought it was the one with him in that looked like this:
As I thought of it, I remembered the scene (I watched the movie "Hell is for Heroes" on Veterans Day, 2014) above that I was so struck by the face of McQueen's character that I snapped a picture of it with my phone, and remembered doing it when I read your post, so I had to go through about a thousand pictures to find it.
I know it is Hollywood. I know he is an actor. But there was something about his face in that one scene in the movie that struck me as seeming to be stunning authentic...something in the eyes, a hollow look he somehow captured on the screen.
Bigtime
The war pix from the 50s and 60s had the actors in them who’d fought in WWII and some in Korea.
They had flint.
