I'm age restricted and sadly cant watch the video. Apparently being 72 years old is some kind of restriction. Ah these newfangled contraptions and their fancy pansy logic circuits and thinga bobbers.

Some of his other noteworthy roles were as the "Vitamin Salesman"/FBI agent opposite Gene Wilder in "Silver Streak
Lt. Fr. Stafford in the 1974 Biopic "The Execution of Private Slovik"
and good ole Otis in the Christopher Reeve "Superman" movie series.

Ever read Summerset Maugham? There's a quote , best said in the film adaptation (Bill Murray )

We mock death and pretend its nothing. And we deeply mourn & grieve all those that have past, we know our turn is coming soon.

RIP. Great character actor/ I would have sworn he was in stuff before 1972, though; seems he was around longer than that.

I think it was Gator where he was killed by Burt Reynolds

Or was it White Lightning?

Burt killed him in Gator, Bo Hopkins killed him in White Lightning.

Deliverance was his first movie

 

[GMCGeneral]

Hey, guess where else I found Ned Beatty?

 

[Canon Shooter]

He played a real scumbag in "Shooter"...



An all around great actor. RIP...

He did theater for some 10 years or so before doing Deliverance. He learned how to do radically different roles there I like his comedy roles best, though. Most of the big names in Hollywood aren't really actors, they're 'personalities'; Beatty was a real actor.
