R.I.P. Charlton Heston
He played G-d and never let anyone tell him what to think. He marched with Martin Luther King and stood up for actual rights while other actors just talked the talk.
We won't let them grab the guns, Mr. Heston, not even from your cold, dead hands.
Hat-tip Fisch.

That's right Karol. We won't let them take our guns. One reason why we sent your boy Rudy back to the people's republic of New York where he belongs.
The only time I remember Heston playing God was the awful "Almost an Angel" with Crocodile Dundee. I do remember him in those strange infomercials selling tapes of him reading the Good Book and of course playing Moses and John the Baptist and I think those kind of roles, that of God's messenger, fit him and his career a lot better (and I'll take the "Ten Commandments" and "The Greatest Story Ever Told" any day over "Almost an Angel"-I really hated that film-and I really hate Crocodile Dundee, so much so that I used to get ticked when those Suburu Outback commericals came on and he was in them). Ben Hur, El Cid, Tombstone, Wayne's World 2, Branagh's excellent Hamlet, Planet of the Apes, Soylen Green, he made a lot of great and fun films. Thanks Mr. Heston. RIP.
