Whatever! You know, the man is dead. I don't really care what his politics were. I liked him as an actor in the few things I saw him in. Prayers for his family in their time of sorrow.

The part about him being a typical leftie was, I thought of interest as this board occasionally discusses politics...

The part about his character in Marathon Man being gay, was, I thought just interesting. I had never noticed it until I read an interview with Scheider in which he revealed that he was interested in the role because it was so complex, and that the character being gay was part of what made the character so. I then watched the movie again, and could pick up on it, but it was very subtle.

I care about political discussions on this board only when it comes to politicians' stances and professional political analysis. I don't care about actors and their politics - whatever their views may be. I especially don't care about an actor's politics when he's passed away and barely cold! That's just the way I feel about it. No offense intended.

I had no idea and I saw that film twice!

Oh great, that just blew my young girl fantasies to hell!
