[Sublime/Sixpack]

I've always enjoyed him as an actor. He seemed real, unlike most actors today.

[dkn1997]

[BB1]

Like so many in that generation, he was the "real deal".

Lee Marvin is another one I liked a lot, who was almost killed in WWII.

Being a gunner on a B-29 he was lucky to even make it into the movies! Great actor.

You mean his movies?  I've got the "Mechanic."   Funny how Bronson looked the same throughout the years, but in that movie you've got a post-adolescent looking Jan Michael Vincent (Airwolf).  Good movie, I recommend it...

Love that red '71 Mach One in the last scene,..

One of the greats.

I dont remember hearing about him passing, either.

Hard Times was my Favorite. From around 1971. He played a depression era street fighter who kicked ass. (also with Strother Martin & James Coburn) The one where he played a Watermelon grower (Mr. Majestic)after a lowlife was a good one. LEON.

I own Mechanic and wish the stonekiller would get released. I read the book A complete state of death that stonekiller was based off of. Bronson even mumbled the books title. John Ritter had a bit part as a cop.
