Personal Quote:

Acting is instant enjoyment and childlike. As an actor, Lord God, I can take an audience in a theatre and throw them in any direction. I can't do that as a writer. Writing is painful, it's lonely and you suffer and there's no immediate feedback. See more »

Trivia:

Appeared in two Best Picture Academy Award winners: A Man for All Seasons (1966) and The Sting (1973), and one other Best Picture nominee: Jaws (1975). See more »
