Charlton Heston "Film Is Not An Actor's Medium" | The Dick Cavett Show

@@owlcowl "never merited an Oscar for any of his films" Isn´t that a little unfair? Yes, maybe some of his best preformances where in non appeal films (by today standards) but in The Ten Commandments for example, the dialogues where very stupid and cheese. It was his performance and Yul Brynners performance, that make Moses and Ramses a believeble characters. Heston gave an amazing performance in Will penny, but the film was a very little one. El Cid was another grand epic with bad script, and in 55 days at Peking, the Director collapse and the production went chaotic. He did the best with what he got. That´s why actors like Brando, Newman, etc didn´t made epics, because they knew those films are very difficult for actors. I think he deserved his Oscar in Ben Hur thou.

I got a Charlton story.. During the Christmas season sometime in the 1960’s my Grandfather worked as a lath and plasterer. The company he worked for was hired to do a remodel project at Heston’s home in Beverly Hills.. My Grandfather liked Heston, said he treated the crew very good. During their lunch break Heston had a very nice lunch made for them and they were allowed to eat in his dining room and living room.. They were even allowed to watch his TV.. They had to take off their shoes though. When they were done with their lunch, Heston had his maid put all their shoes neatly in his hall closet.

Nobody really just codes a game anymore. Some may but the majority are basically interactive movies, TV shows or comics.

@David R. Walsh Would it really be impossible for a "far right goom" (sounds kind of racist to me, but I'll let it slide) to also be a talented actor? I'm not particularly fond of Sean Penn's politics, but he's definitely gifted and excellent at his craft. BTW, anytime someone on either side starts in with the "HAHAHAHA!!!" thing I immediately know they feel insecure in the point they are trying to make.

[@janso7979]

@David R. Walsh And I think you were meaning to write "riposte". The snarky, condescending thing works better when you actually use your "fifty cent words" correctly.

[@janso7979]

@David R. Walsh No, your spelling wasn't "out an 'e'". You used the wrong word completely. Riposte is a term from fencing. Repost is what people might do on Facebook. It means "post again". Actually, "goom" would be something of a racial slur. It refers disparagingly to Italian-Americans. You probably meant "goon". It was obviously a typo, but you didn't need to double-down. With the "hahahahahah!!" thing you're trying to make it appear that you're righteously superior and laughing in disdainful mockery at someone, but it comes off try-hard and insecure. That arrogant stance is what makes your use of "repost" actually funny. Again, you didn't explain why disagreeing with someone's politics makes them untalented at their craft. Yes, Heston was the president of the NRA, and perhaps you find that a bad thing. That doesn't shed any light on whether he was adept at playing Moses or Ben-hur. Your sort of attitude is why I find it nearly impossible to have a rational. civil conversation with modern leftists. Every topic turns into "me good, you bad".

Often such interviews as this turn-out to be disappointing. The actor or actress, though perhaps great on the screen, can turn-out to be monosyllabic, unresponsive, with little-or-no insight into the filmmaking-process, the evolution of his or career, etc. Mitchum was like that. The interviewer has to pull every-word out of them for answers, sometimes practically answering for the guests-themselves. I've seen this happen often over the years. That's why this is such a surprise. I've always liked Mr. Heston and he's very-natural, relaxed, articulate & interesting here. He seems truly "in the moment", enjoying the discussion. David Niven, another of my favorites, made a great-guest on interview-shows, too, always bubbly & enthusiastic about his life, his career, and Hollywood in general.

[@Ondatrain79]

Always got the impression that Heston was never quite comfortable with the camera being so close. It was a double-edged sword because he was so strikingly handsome that the camera just loved him (that jawline!) but his natural instincts as a stage actor were to project to the back row, which just isn't needed in film. When he worked with directors who reeled him in (Wyler in "Ben-Hur" for instance) he gave good performances. If left to his own devices, he couldn't help but ham it up a bit and the camera caught all of it. My favorite films of his, where he tones it down for whatever reason, are "Ben-Hur," "Planet of the Apes," "Will Penney," "Airport 1975," and "Midway." Conversely, I have trouble watching some films like "Diamond Head," "Earthquake," and even "El Cid," though the action scenes make up for Chuck's natural inclination to overact. All this being said, he may not have been the world's best film actor, but man he took over the screen. Just a natural presence and a damn handsome man!

[@gentleall]

Everything Heston said about the directors' job is also true about acting. If you've seen "Will Penny", you see real fine character acting and how a story is supposed to be told, without all the pageantry, CGI and sweeping score.
