    Anthony Quinn died in 2001. Anthony Quayle died in 1989, which gives me an excuse to post ; -

    I'd say another one is Barry Pepper. He's definetly one of those emotional war actors which I prefer anyway. He was the sniper in S.P.R. and the photographer in We Were Soldiers (also in Green Mile and 25th Hour)

    Anthony Quayle played ... Canaris in "The Eagle Has Landed" - did a smashing job - a great movie to boot.

    Deuce...

    No, Sir Anthony is not in that "Bunker", but he was in this "Bunker" ;)

    And I agree Hopkins was very compelling in his portrayal...Downright spooky!

    Steve McQueen
    ---------------
    The Great Escape
    Hell is for Heroes

    The best part in Hell is for Heroes is when Steve McQueen throws himself into the German bunker with the satchel charge.

    Sir John Mills. Ice Cold in Alex instantly springs to mind but that's only one of many. A fine actor and a very nice man. [​IMG]
