Bronson was great. I liked him in Breakheart pass and Death Wish. I had forgotten what a raw, sad and hard hitting movie that was.

Bronson brings to mind William Smith as Col. Strelnikov in Red Dawn. He was the Russian Spetznaz Colonel who gave the speech about needing to be a hunter to kill a wolverine.

He was a fluent Russian speaker with a master’s degree from UCLA, during the Korean War he was a Russian Intercept Interrogator and flew secret spy plane ferret missions over the USSR. He was reportedly also fluent in French, German and Serbo-Croatian. It had been while working on his doctorate that he was offered a contract from MGM, which would pave his career.

Another American hero.
