[@marioe9318]

Such a great actor. One of a kind!

[@anarchistatheist1917]

Gene hackman is one of the greatest actors of all time. He can portray antagonists or protagonists equally well. Mississippi burning is one of the greatest movies he is in. I hope he enjoys his retirement.

[@tooakki]

Yep In my top 5 fav.

Gene Hackman is not only a brilliant actor , but also a very humble , very authentic person, highly thoughtful and intelligent .

[@carolnahigian9518]

[@LAZISH]

He's within first 10 actors in my list. If not number one, pretty close to it!!!!

Amazing movie, terrific acting - also from Willem Dafoe, Frances McDormand, Brad Dourif, and others

[@robbielawson4828]

I've never seen better.

[@jenniferpower981]

Wonderful Actor,wonderful Man,a fine example of a man who doesn't have to be mainstream handsome,to be very sexy indeed.

[@elizabethtobin6894]

Loved Gene Hackman in Mississippi burning. Sat my kids down to watch it.

[@Romulus980]

I always lookforward to his work. Not only is he a fine actor but he has instant charisma on screen...

[@stephenmartin2737]

Class act right there!!! One of my favourite films

[@twwap294]

What a guy! Few actors hold a candle to him.

[@Hal09i]

He does bring that element of controlled rage to a lot of his roles. There's an element of violence and danger just beneath the surface. He comes across as a genial guy most of the time, but one you don't want to cross or have him mad at you...

[@robbielawson4828]

One of my favourite films. The acting, the eerie music & the fact that the film was based around actual events all combine to make it a cinematic masterpiece.

[@BLUEsurf63]

Simply one of the greatest, love Gene's movies.❤❤❤

[@Eire_Go_Deo]

What a legend.

[@christianfinkbeiner684]

He might the best ever.

[@xdreamzyyxasmr8085]

I would love to meet and hug Gene. You might think you are common but to anyone outside USA you are very special and loved

[@okcman34]

One of the greatest .

[@Digginbehindthedikes]

Loved him in the French Connection

[@user-gk7mz9cy5z]

Both Gene and John (journalist) were a cut above in their chosen fields. Both expressed true professionalism. Much different from what we see these days.

[@reubenalvear1975]

Yes. It sounds like the journalist respected G. Hackman.

[@morten1]

One of my top favorite actors

[@MarkJusty777]

Sounds like a highly intelligent man.

[@user-im1dq1rq6d]

One of the best actors of all time. First time I seen him interviewed-Sharp as a tack in real life.

[@johnvandenheuvel6792]

Gene Hackman is the best and very grounded.

[@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449]

A+ Interviewer!

[@jatinderdevgun9093]

My favorite actor

[@atarifan80]

Great film. Great cast.

[@misterhumerus]

That was an absolutely exceptional interview.

[@fieldsmarcus]

Gene is one of my favorite people!

[@leticiadelgadillo]

Wow, just Wow....

[@lindaedgson1180]

Absolute Top Film.

[@georgepataridze-nikolaishv9104]

I love Mr. Hackman

[@rhondamcclements356]

Brilliant movie

[@frankt285]

Great movie...

[@paulavery5889]

I wasn't even born yet but this movie made me cry because I'm weak I guess. But I loved him in this movie although that element was fictional.

[@traciturman8974]

Would love to know him. He is very special as is Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. There are truly immensely qualities he has .. a mysterious man, a truthful man. 😁😁🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🐾🐾🙏💙

[@knownpleasures]

That movie had a brilliant soundtrack throughout

[@davidh.3942]

If Anthony Hopkins never took the role, Gene would've made an excellent Hannibal Lecter.

[@sherene7]

Just an amazing actor.

[@goodee4451]

I think Hackman and Denzel are the best actors I've ever scene.

[@felipepineda1585]

Which is why crimson tide Is completely great!!!!

[@jdmjr1130]

A very good actor 👍

[@OVALLEPIT]

El gran Gene Hackman 👍👍👍🇨🇱

[@Craig-ib7gk]

Every time I see Hackman in any of his *long* list of serious rolls, I'm reminded of just how far down the sewer 'woke'-activist hollywood has gone in the last decade, with no signs of it ever correcting. This man is made of pure legend and just oozes awesomeness.

[@maxbowie6074]

Agree. Hollywood is now in an appalling state.

[@narellecox2028]

Love Gene, a sensational actor.

[@paulfazekas7475]

Happy birthday Popeye are you still picking your feet in Poughkeepsie thank you for all the great movies through the years

[@mariamery7025]

Mejor actor y se ve q no actuaba sus sentimientos verdadedos

[@g.ijoebear1759]

From a time where interviews where a professional thing.

[@nicolamcguinness8689]

Rest in peace sammy wilson

[@luisnavarro9803]

A shame DeNiro did not learn from this very decent actor.

[@petercurry6222]

GH - puts the rest out of sight.

[@alex-internetlubber]

I feel like MB is one of the rare films that benefits from a little bit of artistic license. It wasn't like this in reality, the FBI agents in real life they sent to Mississippi were more like thugs who beat people to get the information from them; the film borrows from the skeletal structure of what happened (three civil rights activists go missing) but then bootstraps it to tell its own story

[@memorialgardens1664]

You sound like him😮😮 You sound like you landed on the moon, first step

[@craigwilson3532]

The best 🙄

[@stevenrozakis5269]

I define a good actor by whatever role they take they can convince you they are “that” role ( obviously). That’s what a lot of people I know miss, they go by “ most popular “. Hackman is a guy whether he is a cop, admiral or lex Luthor he 💯 convinces the audience he is “ that “ role. Simple. Popularity is a different thing. I love the rock but for example his movie acting skills are not convincing.

[@phero2]

Controlled Rage champion

[@simsim5919]

Isn't he beautiful

[@sidlopez4599]

He looks a little like Robin Williams.

[@thebrowithnoname1703]

I don’t see it

[@countchoculitis1528]

Before DDL, this guy was on top in my book. Particularly in this film.

[@TK-cl1jm]

Interesting to watch him unnecessarily feel guilt at his whiteness and social station, so long ago and yet still pervasive.
