Jesus, 80? There's one actor who's passing will be mourned. Hope there's still many many many years ahead for him.

He's retired from doing films a few years back. George Lucas was going to try to bring him back for the last Indiana Jones film, but realized he wouldn't want to come out of retirement (and star in a stinker of a film)

I saw Darby O'Gill and the Little People in the theater. I guess I've been a fan for awhile.

He's still going?

Talk about one of the most over rated actors ever.

Also talk about a part time Scot. Poster boy for the SNP but does he live here? No...has to pay taxes otherwise.

Sure there are plenty others who do it but he harps on about independence for Scotland but has no intention of living here.

rant over.

I wondered when someone would bring that up

Still, I can't help but like his films.

You know when I said he had "It"? Well, ^that^ is NOT the "It" I was talking about.

I don't mind his films but you have to remind yourself you are watching Sean in a movie, not Sean playing a role.

Though syaing that I do envy him for getting very intimate with Catherine Zeta Jones in Entrapment.
