Thank you for posting this and the video link. I never heard of some of those films before. He was an amazing actor and speaker. I was so sad when I heard the news.

I hope his family sees all the comments in various places that express admiration for him and the passion he put into politics and speaking out about the war on terrorism. He made a valuable contribution.
