Surprised not to see a thread for Tony C, an actor who played some fine roles in a variety of characters. He did high drama, comedy, action adventure, romance, TV, and never seems shy of having a go, like as Stony Curtis in a Flintstones voiceover which was a bit out there at the time but consider now how many do this regularly for things like The Simpsons.
He was a perfect 2nd lead, letting Burt Lancaser, Kirk Doulas etc take the glory whilst he took the girl.
Buried a few days ago, with his favourite things..........
Bernie Schwartz (Tony Curtis) - RIP

Wow I didn't know that at all...
I loved his performance in The Defiant Ones where he was an escaped con chained to Sidney Potier (like many of Potier's great films [Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, In the Heat of the Night, Lilies of the Field] it went a long way towards breaking the "color" barrier),
then I'd rate
The Vikings (the "Mare of Steel" still get the shivers thinking about that sucker!)
Some Like it Hot
Houdini
Spartacus
Taras Bulba
Trapeze
RIP Bernie
