I miss Gene Hackman. C; hopefully one more movie ;)

He looks like Edward Norton at 07:54.

@ugleeamerican Well, Gene is 81. He enlisted in the USMC and became a radio operator at 16- spending time in the "China Marines" right after the surrender of the Japanese, so literally right after the official end of the war, I suppose. Being a Marine in hostile territory at 16 still commands my respect, if indeed your point was that because it was the year WWII officially ended it was less impressive.

@perusbaltero 1945. Gene enlisted in the USMC at sixteen years of age, and was four years as a radio operator, including time in the "China Marines" between 1945-1948. Occupation just after the surrender of the Japanese, I believe.

@DarkeningSkies1 Not trying to take anything away from your point here but when did WW II end again...?!? :D
-
7.52 its edward norton!
-
Darkeningskies, WW2 ended in 1945. Just saying

I come here to listen to him talk about his Dad leaving. The effect a wayward father can have on his boy is astounding. Very sad, very profound.
Respected Hackman anyway- one of the finest, most natural actors of his generation I always thought- but the fact that he was in China with the Marines during WWII AT SIXTEEN? Holy crap, man. Mondo respect.
