Actor -- via the New York Times. Quite simply, one of the best American actors of the second half of the 20th century. He never won a shelfload of awards, but he had integrity, a quiet intensity and an incredibly broad yet subtle palette of emotional expression. He left an indelible impression. On stage, he was the first Brick in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"; and originated the role of Johnny Pope in "A Hatful of Rain." On film, he was amazing in the at least the following "Anatomy of a Murder," "Husbands," "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie," "Opening Night," "Saint Jack," "They All Laughed," the TV series "Run for Your Life," and the TV miniseries "QBVII." OK, he was in "Road House" -- a guy's gotta eat.
