Great actor

I just saw him in "Written on the Wind" and "The Last Voyage", and he was terrific in both movies, playing two very different kinds of characters.

His performance in Written on the Wind is brilliant. Another film of his I enjoyed a lot is House of Bamboo, alongside the great Robert Ryan.

I have also always enjoyed Stack in Airplane!, mocking his own tough as nails screen image.

Idiot OP and all who agree with him.

Jimmy Fish Breath pops up everywhere, with the same cut-and-paste response to everything. This leads me to believe he's nothing more than a knuckle-dragging, drooling, dickless eighth-wit. I hope he has some family member to feed him and wipe him when he messes.

WotW is the best I've seen from him. Everything else, he's wooden as hell.
