His son had a big role in Netflix' House of Cards.

Wonder if Kevin Spacey tried to boink him.

Scott WAS George Patton in the movie. But he declined to accept the Oscar because he was in a sympathy strike for some stupid Indian “cause.” My esteem for him dropped a few hundred points after that.

I first watched the movie Patton with an old 3rd army vet.
During the intermission I looked over to ask him a question and was surprised to see tears running down his face.
The man who I considered to be the toughest son of a gun in the world looked at me and said “That is the son of a bitch up one side and down the other. Dear Lord I still love him.”

George C Scott was an excellent actor...and a Virginian to boot!
