United commercials. He could make a shithole airline come alive. He spent some time in Iowa, near storm lake.
Interesting. I didn’t realize he’d been “retired from acting” for almost 20 years. Some of that is probably because he’s “looked older” for most of his career or at least the movies I know him from.
We just watched him last night in “A Runaway Jury”.
He kind has one of those ageless faces meaning he looked old when he was young and didn’t appear to age that much. Like Steve Martin. This is from the 1950’s.
My fun fact for this thread… I was at a business conference in NOLA when they were filming this. We stepped outside during the afternoon break and saw/watched them shooting one of the street scenes. My first brush with Hollywood since being an extra in one of the “Honey I shrunk the kids” films (whichever one has scenes from Vegas, near the Golden Nugget).
Class Action is underrated. I really like him in that one.
This is what I think of when I think of Gene Hackman.
We are selfish people. He deserves a happy retirement. I did see him on an episode of DDD. Seems like he is just hanging out in New Mexico living a casual life.
