It's Gene Hackman who turned 94 yesterday. I hope I make it to 94 and look that good.

Damn. Very few men make it that long.

As many good films as he's been in, I feel like he's still underrated

If I saw him on the street, no. But I knew who he was in the context of this thread.

Gene Hackman points of interest:
Real name is Eugene Alder.
While at the Pasadena Playhouse, Hackman and a classmate were voted "Least likely to succeed". The classmate was Dustin Hoffman.
Turned down the lead roles in Jaws (1975), Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).
Was admitted into the famed Pasadena Playhouse on the G.I. Bill. He failed out of it after 3 months and moved to New York to continue being a stage actor. Received one of the lowest grades the school had ever given (1.3 out of 10). He headed to New York with the intention of proving them wrong
He lied about his age to join the Marines at 16, but left as soon as his initial tour was complete.

I was thinking about a movie I might have seen him in but couldn’t put my finger on it until I scrolled down.

Aftco is my favorite clothing brand. I hope I'm still wearing it out and about when I'm in my 90's.
