One of the greats has passed

Wow! Colonel Kilgore is one of the greatest film characters of all time, and his role as Tom in "The Godfather" was also unforgettable.

And who can forget "Thank you for smoking"?

"RIP" AUGUSTUS MCCRAE.

 

[Wishfulthinker580]

Sad day. Gus was his best role IMHO

 

[Hunt anything]

I really enjoyed “Second Hand Lions” plus a lot of his other work! RIP

Not to mention his love of Tango.

Almost forgot about to Kill a Mockingbird. That was such a masterful performance.

Four Christmases is one of my favorites… He delivers some of the funniest lines with perfect timing….


If you think I'm gonna allow a sex predator in a uniform to wander around my house and touch my underwear, you... you got another thing coming!

Boys, I don't want to speak ill of your mother on Christmas, but she's nothing but a common street whore.

Your grandmother's boyfriend is a first-class ass-sniffer! And you can tell him that I said so.

He lived 20 miles from me in Warrenton, VA. Bob Duvall was a very humble man.

 

[SCHUNTER73]

Damn. It won’t be long before all of the good ones are gone. He was one of my favorites.

 

[RSL]

The Great Santini is worth a watch.
RIP Sir

[K-man]

"They really lived" one of the best lines out of Secondhand Lions. One of my favorites was buzzing the sleeping sheriff in the biplane. He will be missed.

 

[Hunter-Habib]

May God/Allah grant him an eternity in Heaven/Jannat.

I was first introduced to him when he played the villainous Ned Pepper in the John Wayne film “True Grit”.

Of course, he’s more widely remembered as Tom Hagen in the first two Godfather films.

But I’ll always consider his best film to have been “Secondhand Lions” alongside Sir Michael Caine.

Not to mention his love of Tango.

A LOT of people don't know about that--he would arrange to tango while on sets in other countries, but then, I believe I have read that you like to drag the occasional tango queen across the floor from time to time?
RIP to a great actor.
