"I love to see a fat guy score!"

Oh...that should have been the movie's tag-line!

All the serious roles listed above are awesome, but he was also great in the Birdcage with Robin Williams. The last scenes where he had to escape the gay club in full drag was hilarious.

He made some amazing movies and I've seen some interviews with other actors who worked with him and they all loved him.

I believe the most common term was: "Consummate Professional."

His talent will be missed.
He made bad villains look charming

My God you're old! But you're not wrong. That was indeed hilarious!

I’m not sure why that’s confusing. No gun shot wounds, stab wounds, obvious trauma. So yeah, sounds like no clear signs of foul play. Hence the followup toxicology reports.

Pills everywhere, open door, dog dead in a bathroom closet, items moved, a dog inside and outside.

To go from no suspicion to "suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation" is confusing. Why make that statement in the first place with so much observable evidence?

It's possible the wife was so distraught, after finding Hackman dead, that she off-ed herself with the pills? Double suicide? Or one person murdered the other.

Hackman's pacemaker appears to have stopped on February 17. It does indeed look like they had been there for a while.

I always loved the military movies that Hackman did. Uncommon Valour was the first movie I saw if his - simply amazing. Crimson Tide, Bat 21, the Package and Behind Enemy Lines.

Then there’s the list of everything else… the Superman movies, Get Shorty, Mississippi Burning, The Firm, Unforgiven, Hoosiers, The Replacements, Enemy of the State and Runaway Jury. Just to highlight a few of the very many.

RIP
