Charles Bronson is still alive and is in his 70's. He served in the US Navy in ww2 (
Charles Buchinsky ) Lee Marvin was a US Marine in ww2 was on Iwo Jima. Robert Mitchum never served and I dont think Robert Ryan ever did either.
Michael Caine did serve in the British military--in the Korean War. I dont think Connery ever served in the military--but he was once a Gravedigger. James Mason--yet another of my Fav British actors--as well as the above mentioned. Alce Guinness another Fav--specially as Obi Wan Kenobi
Trevor Howard--another all-time fav of mine. Anthony Quayle--recently deceased--another fav. Jack Hawkins--another fav of mine. Richard Burton--would be in the top 5 of my fav actors from the UK. David Niven--another all-time fav. Errol Flynn--of course--and he was and will ALWAYS be, the BEST
Robin Hood and a good
General George Armstrong Custer Basil Rathbone--another fav--especially as he was in Dawn Patrol with Niven and Flynn. I dont like Plummer but he is a good actor. Michael York--another fav. Harry Andrews--will always be a fav of mine as well. But dont forget John Mills--he was most excellent in the 1950s version of
Titanic and was very good in the movie:
Dunkirk .
