Just watched Voigt’s brilliant performance in “Deliverance.” A very great actor and a true patriot. And a handsome devil, too! And he’s from NY State - Yonkers, I believe!
I’ve always had trouble staying awake through Deliverance.
Love him in Conrack. Movie about a school teacher teaching black children.
I usually don’t give a lot of credence to the words of Hollywood types who speak out on political issues but I think it means a lot more when one does so against conventional thinking of his peers. he doesn’t give a damn what they think, he is standing up for what is right and I applaud him for it.
My memory is that he went to Stepinac HS in White Plains. Knew a LOT of Stepinac guys back in the day (unfortunately, not Voigt)
One of John Voight’s earliest roles was when he played a young hot-headed punk in one of the Naked City episodes back in the early 60’s.
