His movies are played so often on TV and cable, that I thought he was still acting. I had no idea that he had retired 20 years ago......RIP Gene, you were one of the greatest.....:(

He was brilliant with the pathos of his character in THE FIRM.

He played a conservative Christian Senator in The Birdcage. Freakin Hilarious movie. He was hilarious too.

Night Moves was a really below average movie but he made it worth watching.

A real hidden gem of a movie was The Package with Tommy Lee Jones.

You know, the one Gene Hackman movie that kind of took me by surprise was “Uncommon Valor.” There’s a scene where he’s having a dream about when his son, who is a MIA after Vietnam, was little boy. He wakes up crying. Anybody remember that movie?

RIP Popeye Doyle

French Connection: “Pick your toes in Poughkeepsie.”

I sadly grew up in Poughkeepsie. His line — which I understand he ad-libbed — made us famous.

Favorite Hackman movie — The Unforgiven.

RIP, Mr. Hackman.
