Excellent actor and did lots for civil rights, BUT........a advocate of Americans bearing arms. President of the Rifle and Gun club, and a great believer in gun toting. Remember his gut wrenching speech of taking his gun from his hands, only when they are cold?
I bet his hands are cold now

Yeah no one ever said:
"Damn you!...Damn you all to hell!" and fell to their knees and pounded their fists in the sand quite like him either.
Though Homer Simpson had a damn good try.
He put in a good innings. A fighter to the end.
RIP Charlton Heston.
A shame really, his campaign for the right to bear arms would have been ok if americans didnt use it mainly to rob and kill each other.

Good actor but a dreadful human being though.

Good movie though.

Terribly miscast as General Gordon. Overall he always played himself. 'Ben Hur' though was a great film.
R.I.P. Mr. Heston.
