RIP Gene Hackman

[gator1776]

One of the greatest actors of all time. And a Marine.

Personal favorites:
Bite the bullet
Unforgiven
The French connection
And of course……. Hoosiers.

Honorable mention for the Royal Tenenbaums

I remember when Hackman hung out with Jack Del Rio in Gainesville when Luke was the QB at UF. Gene was also an avid Jags fan.

WTF

This is getting more bizarre by the minute.

Oscar-winner Gene Hackman, wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog were dead for some time, warrant shows

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies found Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and a dog dead when they performed a welfare check, a spokesperson said.

Yep he was a great actor and it was probably time for him to go at that age and how frail he looked. The circumstances sound kind of strange. Like either his wife killed herself possibly after he passed or she died before him possibly. She was much younger in her 60s also.

Ha! Lol

Even stranger with the death of the dog.

I loved him in Enemy of the State and Unforgiven.
RIP he was a great actor.

I guess it could be carbon monoxide but with a front door open and another dog alive (if accurate) it is some strange circumstances. I wonder if they can tell for sure if they have been dead for weeks. I would hate to hear she died before him and he was in a situation where he couldn't contact anyone.

Yep I thought Unforgiven was his best role.

Leave no witnesses.

Two of my favorites. Unforgiven is my favorite

Wow, sorry to hear. Not for his role in it but “No way out” was one of my favorite movies he did with Kostner. Maybe Will Patton’s best role I’ve seen him in as well.

He was a great actor. Little Bill was an asshole. When an actor can make you hate every fiber of their existence just based on their acting in character, you have achieved the pinnacle of acting. It's a lot different achieving that vs being a hero. Not sure people can understand that.

In the best actors embrace those rules because they are a true challenge and fun for them. And Hackman was excellent at both being the hero and the villain.

Shoutout to all the libs watchin this thread but not posting cause they aren't sure if he voted for Harris or Trump.
