    His one scene in JFK should have won him the Oscar. It's a masterclass in dialogue delivery. He holds the screen for 15 minutes, his voice barely rising above a whisper.
    I can't think of many actors who could pull that off.
    Another fantastic cameo is in Backdraft.
    It's a fairly bland film, but his performance is chilling.

      JFK, released in 1991, was 28 years after the assassination, and I was 9 years old. In 1960 I remember being aware of the election, and I became enamored of Kennedy. This scene was an internalization of my suspicions, and probably for many other viewers as well. The national press dismissed JFK the movie for obvious reasons, one being guilty.

The truth is he was too good for an Acadamy award. of course he wanted one, but it wasn’t his main thing. And he didn’t need one either. I was always told that if your MO was to be famous ? Or win an Academy Award? You’ll fail. You have to strive to be an actor first theme and awards are secondary.

      @peterwalter. Oddly enough, that was the one performance I didn’t like. Not his fault though. He did what the director wanted. In the book, Mr Bennett wasn’t an eccentric. He was rather reclusive, but very correct and formal. He would never have received another gentleman when he was half-dressed, sitting in a messy room. Instead of smiling , he would have been confused and trying not to look embarrassed.

She asks him why hes crying and he says: "I realized that I dont love you anymore. And I dont know what Im going to do without that."
    The way that he delivers the line is so devastating that it freezes your heart. Said resolutely, at the end of a long cry. But he looks so drained and tired and heartbroken. I'll never forget that moment.
