George and Clint on top of Totem Pole in Navaho Lands from the Eiger Sanction.
RIP George!

By the way if anyone was thinking of trying to climb this...don't think about it! A friend and I attempted that after being inspired by the movie and half way up were told by Navaho tribal police to either come down right away or they were going to confiscate our Toyota Land Cruiser, all of our climbing gear and then arrest us!

Well within the top 10 character actors of all times.

always a bigger than life presence in any movie, tv show he appeared.

His movies were always "must see". RIP

Yes. I remember him and he always filled his role very convincingly.

(These passings serve to remind me of how old I am.)

Yep. He was a great actor and always gave a great performance.

He will be missed.
