On The Waterfront
…which featured someone rather close to my heart.
Karl Malden
Patten, The Last Governor’s Tale
Only joking: Patton
George C. Scott
Dr Strangelove
Peter Sellers.
Being There
Shirley MacLaine
Terms of Entrapment
(okay, Endearment)
Jack Nicholson
Five Easy Pieces
An aside on this one… in this month’s Esquire magazine Burt Reynolds says that the astronaut role in Terms was written for him but he turned it down. Said it was the worst mistake of his career. Now that’s saying something.
Karen Black
The Day of the Locust
Burgess Meredith
Rocky
Right after I posted this I recalled seeing Carl Weathers already played, so searched and found we’ve already used Rocky (which is sad so early in)… somebody else play something off Meredith then.
Rocky was used at #145.
How about Of Mice and Men (1939 version)
