He was a great man, not just in his comic acting which I loved as a kid, but in his actions, from those you mentioned above to his formation of United Artists as a way of breaking the old hollywood movie moguls empires. He also stood up to be counted in that sad sad era of macarthyism. Which resulted in him having to leave America and live abroad, killing off any chance of us seeing him in his later years. I read his biography a few years ago and WOW [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img] what a life he led. Though I belive he did not treat women too well.
A true hero of mine
