I know there will probably be some political comments, but the sheer number of quality movies he has been in is astonishing. He was one of the better actors of alltime - and timeless as well.

Most people remember Heston in his more famous movies like "Ben Hur" and "Planet of the Apes", but I'll always remember him in two bizarre movies: "The Omega Man" and "Soylent Green" (which was the last picture that Edward G. Robinson appeared in before he died). Take a look at these trailers:

I too liked "Omega Man'. I heard that they filmed the scenes of him driving in downtown L.A. at sunrise on a weekend, and it looked exactly like that. They didn't have to stop traffic to empty the streets.
On a side note, "Omega Man" and the recent "I Am Legend" are based off of the same novel, Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend".

He's certainly an important actor given the movies he made in the first phase of his career, but great? I think he's overrated largely because he was in such over the top epic films. Based on his peers, would anybody really say he was one the best actors in Hollywood?
Regardless, it's a terrible way to go. Here's prayers for him and his family.

FWIW, I'm guessing my show tomorrow night will have lots of interviews with some of Mr. Heston's friends, so if you're interested in hearing more about the man, you may want to tune in. I'll try and post some specific info on guests when I have it.

www.nranews.com is the site where the show is available. There are also some of Heston's speeches in the archives section of the website.
