Personal Quote:

"Pretending to still be the tough man of action isn't dignified for me any more. There comes a time when you're over the hill and there are plenty of great looking younger actors who can take your place. The action stars of today are making some wonderful films. There are no 'I could do it better' feelings in me... See more »

Trivia:

20th Century-Fox considered him for the astronaut role in 1968's Planet of the Apes but, perhaps seeking a bigger box office name, gave the part to Charlton Heston. See more »
