Hey, Heston got a role in the new planet of the Apes movie......"Charlton Heston offers unintentional comic relief as Thade's dying father. In a scene dripping with irony, the NRA president shows Thade an ancient handgun made by man before the apes were in charge and explains that this type of technology is why mankind should never be allowed to rule the planet again. " "I warn you, their [man's] ingenuity goes hand in hand with their cruelty," he says. "No creature is as devious or violent." In other words, guns don't kill people, people kill people.

Neo, The thing about DeNiro, Pacino, and the like, are that they practice the Stanislavski approach to method acting. After coming out of that school, they all sound the same. All trying to be like Brando. I knew one guy that studied under Lee Strasburg, that said they had to contemplate a coffee cup for an hour as an acting lesson. Sounds weird to me. IMO, the best actor of the present era is Anthony Hopkins. Although their acting may not have been the stage kind, there were those older stars that had a screen presence that could not be denied, like Heston, Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Ray Milland, Holden,O'Toole, Caine, Connery(not necessarily as Bond), etc. Even though he didn't really act, it was hard to beat the Duke for sheer magnetism. Orson Welles would have been a Hollywood giant if he hadn't been so obnoxious. ~;=;o --haqi
