Damn fine actor. Some of his film weren't great, but he was great in them.

He never disappointed.  Sad to read how he chose to ring down the old curtain with team wackezoid.  In so much quality work The Conversation was my favorite.  That little insincere chuckle appeared in every role.  “Men, there’s trouble in Russia . . . .”  What else is new?

Why?

BECAUSE YOU MADE A PHONE CALL

Very surly character in EOTS. Also thought he did well with Little BIll, in making him a very hateable character in Unforgiven.

Of course also loved Norman Dale, with my favorite scene being  his chat in the vacant lot with Jimmy Chitwood, in which for a minute and a half Jimmy continually sinks shots until Coach Dale tells him he doesn't need him on the team, after which Dale walks off and Jimmy clanks one.  Only YT video I found was Italian...LOL.

 

RIP Gene.  Semper Fidelis!

Legend. He made bad movies worthwhile, good movies great, and great movies iconic. The Conversation is a masterclass in acting.

I'm sure others have read about how he thought that Hoosiers was garbage during the production & how he told Hopper it would end their careers. He was as shocked as could be at the final product.

Yeah, I’ve read that. Apparently he hated that film. It’s still one of my favorite sports movies.

His performance in Mississippi Burning is one of my favorites. And his roles in The Firm and No Way Out were also very underrated.

I’ve always had a problem with suspension of disbelief. I did not have that issue with Gene Hackman. He was outstanding in every role I ever saw him in. RIP to one of the best.

Crimson Tide might be my favorite role of his. The Conversation, too.

 

Just watched him in No Way Out over the weekend. And saw The Poseidon Adventure for the first time not too long ago.

Saw the headline, first thought was murder suicide. Article says no foul play, so gas leak or carbon monoxide? That would explain the dog. Saw the cult thing above so suicide pact? Would be shitty to take out the dog with them, but looked on wiki and the cult post above wasn’t there and google didn’t show anything. So it has to be gas or carbon monoxide right? I guess it could be suicide pact for non cult reasons, would still be shitty to take the dog out too.

I’m not a big film buff, he’s one of those actors that I know I’ve seen many times but the one that really comes to mind is The Replacements, lol, I’m basic af I guess.

Still pissed he didn't get to bang Jeanne Tripplehorn.

Abby McDeere: What are they going to do to you?

Avery Tolar: Whatever it is, they did it a long time ago.
