TonyK Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Always liked him and just read an article about this. Was surprised they didn't mention Rollerball in it. I remember it being popular back then even though it was pretty bad in my opinion. He was good in Elf playing a character you didn't expect.

Snake45 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I think my favorite role of his was in A Bridge Too Far. Thief would run a distant second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caan, Redford, Hopkins, Caine, Connery, Hackman and Lawrence Olivier if I remember correctly. I’m sure I missed someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Talented actor I everything I saw him in. A sad loss. I don’t know so many of all these new actors and actresses. May Jesus comfort his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubiconLJ Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) RIP Sgt Dohun. The Longest Day would be the only WW2 movie with a better cast than A Bridge Too Far. Been a long time lurker, first post. Edited July 8 by RubiconLJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if we’re talking “non-reality” WW2 flicks, then The Dirty Dozen cast might just edge out Kelly’s Heroes (even though Savalas and Southerland were in both; and even though it’s really difficult for me to go against an Eastwood movie.)

Hard to argue with you on that one. Lee Marvin, George Kennedy, Robert Ryan, John Cassavetes, Clint Walker, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine, Jim Brown, Trini Lopez.... I think it might have been Donald Sutherland's first movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
