Yup. Gene is a good one. One of my favorite actors.

Gene Hackman is one of the greats. Versatile. Just posted how much I liked him in Heist. Royal, Popeye, even that Will Smith movie. Having said that, I always have heard he was a huge a-hole on set. The only person he didn't intimidate on the Royal Tenenbaums set was Bill Murray.

I remember hearing he’s one of 6 guys to win best actor and best supporting actor

Loved him in the 2 Grisham films, The Firm and Runaway Jury.
However, my favorite was The Replacements.

Recorded that one on TCM the other night and watched it. He carried that movie. I really enjoyed it. My old man was a cop, it was one of his favorites.
Most don’t know that Popeyes Chicken was named after his character in The French Connection.

One of the more talented actors of all time. God bless him.

Hasn't been in a movie since Welcome to Mooseport in 2004
:MindBlown:
It makes sense when you see he’s 93 now, and the last movie was almost 20 years ago, but he’s just so prolific, and in so many movies you rewatch every year, it’s hard to imagine you haven’t seen him in anything new since 2004.

I hope that fricker lives to be 150+.....in all honesty, there are a ton great actors but I can't think of a better one.....perhaps Duvall, Freeman, or maybe Washington...Hanks?
