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.
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...
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.
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.
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. 😁😁🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🐾🐾🙏💙
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.
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
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.

Gene is 93 today. Happy Birthday Mr. Hackman!!
Whaaaaaaat? Time is flying on by 😳
I love you, Gene Hackman ❤️
2024 July I saw him getting a burger in the corner store in New York. Great Bloke!.
I remember his role in " Under Suspicion ", when in a choked voice...lied about what he didn't do...and in the end how he turned and walked away.
Gene Hackman is not only a brilliant actor , but also a very humble , very authentic person, highly thoughtful and intelligent .
amen
He's within first 10 actors in my list. If not number one, pretty close to it!!!!
Yes he is brillant! The same Category as Spencer Tracey!
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.

Amazing movie, terrific acting - also from Willem Dafoe, Frances McDormand, Brad Dourif, and others
I've never seen better.
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...
What a guy! Few actors hold a candle to him.
Loved Gene Hackman in Mississippi burning. Sat my kids down to watch it.
Me too but they don't care and don't pretend you were a special parent 😂
Wonderful Actor,wonderful Man,a fine example of a man who doesn't have to be mainstream handsome,to be very sexy indeed.

Gene has been in everything from superman to mississippi burning to enemy of the state , a brilliant actor
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.
Yes. It sounds like the journalist respected G. Hackman.
gene is a great man the movie mississippi burning one of the most upsettin movies ever..........period
Great actor! Both Defoe and Hackman should have received Oscars! Portrayed fabulous FBI Agents!££
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
Gene Hackman is the best and very grounded.
Have never seen him in a bad movie yet. Is my favourite actor.
He might the best ever.
Wow. Gene Hackman 94... Love this guy. Love this movie and all of his work. Joe Nashville
Didn't realise he was the same age as Clint Eastwood. Both Hollywood legends!
incredible actor and what a role.
Sounds like a highly intelligent man.
Loved him in the French Connection
One of the last great actors who is just genuinely good.
My favorite actor
An outstanding actor. Truly one of the all-time greats.
What an extraordinary human being and brilliant actor
Gene is one of my favorite people!
What a normal guy, showing almost none of the complexity he injects into his characters on screen! Great actor, great interview!
Such a talented actor.
A+ Interviewer!
One of my top favorite actors

.. a mysterious man, a truthful man. 😁😁🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🐾🐾🙏💙
One of the greatest .
Loved every one of your movies. Happy birthday!
One of the best actors of all time. First time I seen him interviewed-Sharp as a tack in real life.
If Anthony Hopkins never took the role, Gene would've made an excellent Hannibal Lecter.
Wow, just Wow....
Great film. Great cast.
I love Mr. Hackman
Absolute Top Film.
One of the greats no doubt about it
Best actor of al time. The interviewer was also quite good. He was able to talk, ask questions and sound genuine without being a kiss ass. Well done.
I think Hackman and Denzel are the best actors I've ever scene.
Which is why crimson tide Is completely great!!!!
Just an amazing actor.
Love Gene, a sensational actor.
Brilliant movie
El gran Gene Hackman 👍👍👍🇨🇱
From a time where interviews where a professional thing.
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.
Agree. Hollywood is now in an appalling state.
That movie had a brilliant soundtrack throughout
Happy birthday Popeye are you still picking your feet in Poughkeepsie thank you for all the great movies through the years
Interesting questions. Good interview
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.
Great film and Great actor
Great actor Gene Hackman.
The best
Rest in peace sammy wilson
GH - puts the rest out of sight.

A very good actor 👍
Greatest actor

He shows us how close we are to vile behaviour
Mejor actor y se ve q no actuaba sus sentimientos verdadedos
and in real life also a real marine ....a definite bad ass .....
You sound like him😮😮 You sound like you landed on the moon, first step

'I'm pretty common' ...
Controlled Rage champion
Isn't he beautiful
A shame DeNiro did not learn from this very decent actor.
He looks a little like Robin Williams.
I don’t see it
Before DDL, this guy was on top in my book. Particularly in this film.
NO "um", "yeah yeah yeah", "like" or "ya know" . Thanks Mr. Hackman .
Interesting to watch him unnecessarily feel guilt at his whiteness and social station, so long ago and yet still pervasive.
Great movie...
