There're many actors I think have been/are marvellous, mostly British.
But THE one for me, since I first saw him in 1962, in 'El Cid', & the scene was when he rescued a priest & a statue on his way to his wedding, was Mr Charlton Heston!
What a 'hunk', 6' 4" tall, very broad shouldered, ruggedly handsome, deep bass voice, & the most down to earth person you'd ever wish to meet!
His involvement with the NRA was due to the fact, he was a 9th Generation American.
It should NEVER overshadow his marvellous acting abilities.
Most of the 'epics' in which he starred will NEVER be re-made, due costs now.
He left behind a HUGE canon of works, not only Film, but Stage, TV Documentaries', Voiceovers ( it was HIS voice, distorted, which was the 'Burning Bush' ie God, in his film, 'The Ten Commandments', & his real-life baby son, Fraser, was Infant Moses in the Basket!).
He was a very good Christian man, attending his Church, with his family, every week.
His lovely wife, of 64 years married, now widow, Lydia, is 93, & still very much involved with their children, & grandchildren.
He is greatly missed by all who knew him, & his legion of fans.
May he Rest in Peace.
