Love him, one of my all-time favorite actors. It was his portrayal of Lex Luthor in the Superman movies that first got my attention as a kid, but of course as I got older I discovered everything else.
So many great roles, but the one that always has slayed me was Hackman in The Birdcage. Here was a movie featuring two comedic heavyweights with Williams and Lane, and Hackman made me laugh as much as they did. And that was just a couple years after playing the brutal Little Bill character in Unforgiven. Great range as an actor.
Happy 90th birthday, indeed!
