    Telly Savalas in "B of the Bulge" and all the "Deadly Dozen" flicks.

    Any woman in a war picture, with a precious few exceptions.

    I was about to say "no he wasn't, Maggott was killed." But apparently, he managed a resurrection and came back as Major Wright. He drug his brother Gus along in both of them, also.

    Did you mean Dirty Dozen?


    Anyway, there are so many to choose from, but I mostly block them out and focus on what I like about the movies I see! But I will say this, the tank guy from Kelly's Heroes, Gavin Mcleod! I really disliked that character!

    Ahhh, future Captain Merrill Steubing! I like Gavin McLeod but also felt he was out of place in Kelly's Heroes.

    Ryan O' Neal in A Bridge To Far was clearly a case of a Hollywood pretty boy they wanted to bring more women to the theater. Recently I watched that movie again and I was thinking he looked so out of place alongside TRUE thespians like Sean Connery and Gene Hackman. I guess David Cassidy and Rex Smith were too busy so he got the job. Ryan O'Neal in A Bridge Too Far.jpg
