Thx rpm!.....a Kirk Douglas bonus I don't remember. Now if I can find a copy, .:)

Me:D  Well I did have a line in national TV program, well an Irish soap. When I say line I really mean  word....."Great!".  It needed two takes. I fluffed the first one would you believe by trying expand my role. I added a "yes" :eek:

But  for a real actor. I have to say Steve McQueen. He was too cool

:aok  and James Stewart for being a combat pilot.

Monty Stratton lost his leg in a hunting accident before the war. You are thinking of Bert Shepard. He was a P38 pilot who lost his leg when he was shot down and was a POW. Shepard's story has not been told yet, cause I know the guy who owns the movie rights, and wrote the script.

Most of the ones named are among my favorites but Cagney would be number one, followed closely by Wayne.

And the thing I miss most in movies anymore is the "who was that guy" actors. Those sometimes leading but mostly background talent that added flair.

Ben Johnson
Bruce Dern
Paul Fix
Martin Balsom
Pat Hingle
Carl Malden
Woody Strode
Jack Elam
Keenan Wynn
Walter Brennan
Noah Beery Jr.
Dub Taylor
Michael J. Pollard
Charles Martin Smith   
Richard Jaeckel
Jack Watson

These, and many more, are who gave the older movies a depth not seen in modern movies.
It seems that FX is the only co-star needed today.

Bogie has to be mine.  When he said he couldn't stand leeches has to be a cinematic classic.

Unless I just missed it, I'm really surprized nobody has mentioned Jack.
