Do you mean in their primes or what their actual age would be today
I like all those guys
Love Grant and Bogart
But I dont see 114 yr old actor being able to really do much ?

Good question.  I meant in their prime.  Maybe I'll edit my OP.

It is hard to argue against an opinion that is so terribly correct.


Philip Hoffman
Michael Clarke Duncan
Richard Griffiths, although that was inevitable
and yes Brandon Lee and Heath Ledger

BTW even if they are all heavy hitters  I'm not saying these were the best actors of all just a couple of them at least had unfinished business of would be recent work.

Too bad he didn't achieve the greatest acting skill levels until after his Hollywood career was done.
