I enjoyed his films, and people do die everyday.

Life goes on.

Was he the sergent in The Dirty Dozen?

I believe he was the Major in charge of training the dozen.

The Great Escape

Great movies.

people die everyday but some people make more of an impact than others.
also, famous people, people that we associate with our lives, albiet remotely, impact our lives indirectly and when they die it affects us more than others whom we've never heard of.

when our favorite actors die we lose out on more performances,
same with musicans and music, etc..

so let the 'people die everday' crowd chill

Is it just me...or does it seem like modern actors don't have the class or talent that the Old Breed did?

They seem to be chosen for parts based on physical beauty, not talent. Do you remember when actors looked like ordinary people; farmers, share-croppers, ex-cons. Do you remember people like:

Walter Brennan (Will we ever see his like again?)
Jack Elam
Strother Martin
John Wayne (He never really fit the part of the handsome leading man...but nevertheless he was a "man's man."
Barry Fitzgerald
and yes...James Coburn?

*Sigh* Those were the days!
