Peter O'Toole RIP

[SunDeck]

“I will not be a common man. I will stir the smooth sands of monotony. I do not crave security. I wish to hazard my soul to opportunity.”

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

My favorite interview of all time. I still watch it a couple times a year and it never fails to delight.

What I wouldn't pay to spend one night drinking with O'Toole and Burton, or Finch, or Harris.

[marcshoe]

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

[Raisor]

His performance in King Ralph was sublime.

[malcontent]

Thought he was great in The Ruling Class.

Lady Claire Gurney: How do you know you're God?

Jack Arnold Alexander Tancred Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney: Simple. When I pray to Him, I find I am talking to myself.

[_Sir_Charles_]

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.
