Thank you sir for birthing one of the great movie characters of all time.
We asked the kindest man in the world to portray the most corrupt, ruthless dictator weve ever seen.
I had the privilege of working with your father.
His dedication to the craft of acting was unrivaled.
Ill treasure the memories of him reciting great poems, monologues/soliloquies when he wasnt needed on set.

One of the most intelligent, interesting & engrossing film actors of all time.
If you want a master class in acting, watch him in Ordinary People.
