Incredible! I thought he'd passed on already.
Unquestionably, one of film's best leading men of all time.
Besides "Spartacus", my favorites include "The Devil's Disciple", "Seven Days in May" and "Paths of Glory".

You mean they cut out 10,000 leagues?! Surely not the legendary fight with the giant squid!

Not seen it for a while, but can add The Vikings to the list. Great film, great actor.

Yes that was a great yarn, spoiled somewhat by the miscast
pretty-boy Curtis against the gnarly Borgnine & Douglas.

His grandson was in federal prison for drugs. πŸ˜‰ Might still be there. I also heard he was a rat. It's amazing how far the apple can fall from the tree eh?

Not really, not at all when one looks less at genetics and more at environment and personal choice.
