    It's not enough simply to be the king. You must look and act like one.

    Loved him in "My Favorite Year."

    One of my absolute favorites. His two turns as Henry II (Becket, The Lion in Winter) were fantastic.

    I loved him in a lot of films...but none more than Lawrence of Arabia. Definitely in my top 5 of all time movies.

    And VP, thanks for posting the link to that Letterman interview. Simply priceless.
