Re: awesome actor

I agree, He had a very long career, but i only saw one of the classic movies he appeared in. I think it was a World War II movie with Spencer Tracy, and Hume Cronyn played one of the few people Spencer Tracy could trust. The rest of the movies i've seen with Hume Cronyn was from the late 1990's (2 with James Earl Jones). I didn't find out untill later that he was dead. Up to recently, i thought he was still alive. But he was a lucky man to live that long. Typical "goodhearted buddy" character, I really enjoyed his performances.

life is a road that we travel, some of us ends up in the ditch,
some people get the perfect girl, while some may end up with a bitch
some people get fortune, house, family, car, the typical kind of scene.
while some peoples ends up with not much more than a dream.
i understand that everybody can't get everything, i'm old enough to see,
but i'm thankfull for the life i got, i know alote's got it worse than m 1c84 e.
i'm satisfied if i feel healthy, and got something to eat,
with a peace of mind, sitting in a comfortable seat.
i don't need the best of everything, i make the best out of what i can get,
i have tried to spend money, but i have never seen a man buy himself happiness yet.


Re: awesome actor

The range of this actor was astounding. Cronyn went from playing nerds to sadistic brutes, lawyers, cowards, heroes and family men. Cronyn did this with a seemingly effortless acting style.

The film with Spencer Tracy and Hume Cronyn you are thinking of is THE SEVENTH CROSS [1944]. Cronyn was nominated for an Oscar.

Re: awesome actor

Hume Cronyn was certainly one of the most versatile actors. His range was incredible. He could play sweet and innocent as well as arrogant and cruel.

Re: awesome actor

Agreed. Just looking at the Hitchcock films he appeared in shows you just how versatile he could be.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
