Peter O'Toole: So Long

Peter O'Toole: So Long
“Squirt?”
If you can get that O'Toole reference, you're a good one.
Fom CBS.com, ((O'Toole, the 81-year-old star of "Lawrence of Arabia," died Saturday in London. Britain's prime minister and Ireland's president were among the many expressing condolences. ))
I knew he was old, but it still came as a shock when I read the news of his death while getting my e-mail. This guy was doing movies as early as 50s and that's saying a lot.
I remember him from Lawrence of Arabia and Supergirl. Yes, I know he was slumming when he did Supergirl, but I still loved the part...even if the movie is flawed. He also showed up in that strange movie Casino Royale for a moment. It was the 67 version which is a comedy(if you say so).
And, yeah, he was the bomb in Phantoms  yo! He has that great speech toward the end of the story.

He was a great actor that wasn't afraid of speaking his mind(Troy). He will be missed
