Not only did he achieve household name status, but I think had an enviable reputation as a likeable, very hadworking actor. I certainly feel like I grew up watching his movies, and I found him a fantastic screen presence. It was that understated presence, the subtle acting (for the most part) with complete lack of ham which defined him. I'm not sure whether he felt he reached his full potential, but he seemed to keep himself busy right to the end. Did he ever try theatre?
