I think that one incident perfectly defines his off screen personality. He entered a restaurant with a few friends, was not recognized and was told that there would be a wait. As he settled in for that wait, one of the friends urged him to "tell them who you are." Peck's response was totally in character: "If I have to tell them who I am, then I ain't!"
I had the good fortune to be seated next to him at The People's Choice Awards in 1977@ the Warner Wiltern Theater in LA. We struck up a conversation (mainly about "The Omen') and he couldn't have been friendlier or more gracious. The real deal and a genuine class act.
Gregory Peck was my and still is my favorite actor. His acting was excellent, his good looks and deep resonant voice were beyond reproach, and his choice of films to do were outstanding. He came from a generation and group of outstanding actors the like of which I doubt we will ever see again.
@@berkeleyedit7852 perhaps you're too old for the Big Country, and Heston was good in it, but stealing it from Peck and Simmons? You must be daft. Even Chuck Connors did better than Heston in the film. The first fight between Peck and Heston was ridiculous but that was the point made by Peck's character at the end of their fisticuffs: "and what did we accomplish?...meaning there was no point to the feud between them and the fight was to settle the score between both men with different points of view.

@@FactsVerse #1-The Snow of Kilimanjaro! Love this movie from my teenager age(book of Hemingway the best)! And of course-Roman Holiday😊 GREATEST ACTOR AND REAL GENTLEMAN ☺️
Gregory Peck was my favorite male actor! He was handsome, a great actor and so believable in any character roll he played. I admired him so much that I named my second son Gregory after him .
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
And one of his biggest early hits was the western DUEL IN THE SUN, in which he played an uncharacteristic antihero. (His other westerns include THE GUNFIGHTER and THE BIG COUNTRY.)
In 1976, when I was 18 years old, a friend and I went to dinner at the famous Trader Vic's restaurant in Beverly Hills. We were seated right next to Gregory Peck and his dinner party of about six people (total). It was a thrill to be in the presence of the legendary actor, but we had the misfortune of sharing the same waiter as Mr. Peck's table, which meant we were completely ignored by the staff the entire meal. The two times our server spoke with us (to take our order and to deliver the check), he made no eye contact with us -- preferring to stare in the direction of the Peck party instead. Of course, I continued to admire Mr. Peck, but we made a vow to never return to Trader Vic's. Oh, and we left that waiter a one cent tip!
It is said that if you leave a person who served you poorly a very low tip, it only shows that you have as little or as poor manners as they do. Better to have lodged a complaint with the proper management and left the bare minimum tip necessary to still show yourself a dignified person, rather than have stooped to their level.
@@djquinn11 Yeah - and it must be true because a random person on the internet says it was. 🙄 You forgot to mention that he kicked small puppies and hated children, too.
He is one of my all time favorites. These types of performances just don't happen anymore that's why I'll take the oldies anyday over what us being produced today. My favorite role was when he play opposite Audry Hepburn in Roman Holiday.
"To Kill A Mocking Bird," has to be his best performance in my opinion. His acting skills were used in a different way in that particular movie which showed a lot of diversification. Thanks for the upload Facts Verse 👍 🙏RIP GREGORY PECK 🙏
Atticus Finch was Mr. Peck's favourite role in his favourite film. It has been said that in reality he was more like Atticus than any other role he played.
@@berkeleyedit7852 In 1963 the nominees for the Oscar for the Best Actor in a Motion Picture were: GREGORY PECK - To Kill a Mockingbird, BURT LANCASTER - Birdman of Alcatraz, JACK LEMMON - Days of Wine and Roses, MARCELLO MASTROIANNI - Divorce--Italian Style, and PETER O'TOOLE - Lawrence of Arabia. That was a very strong field of nominees. Any one of them could have won and a good argument for any one of them could be made. However, what made Peck's Atticus Finch stand out from the rest was that he embodied what Mockingbird, arguably a far more important and significant film than those of the other nominees, was all about. He was the "Lone Good Man" facing a long- entrenched corrupt and racist society, who stood up alone before them and told them to their faces, that they must not believe... "the evil assumption - that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women, an assumption that one associates with minds of their (the false accusers') calibre." Atticus tells them, his neighbors, possibly for the first time in their lives, that to believe that is to believe a lie. Portraying this White man, so movingly and eloquently defending an innocent Black man falsely accused of raping a White woman in a small town in Alabama in 1935 in a 1962 film (two years before the first comprehensive and meaningful Civil Rights legislation) was very, daring, powerful, significant, and meaningful cinema, far more powerful, significant, and meaningful than any of the other competing roles, as well acted as they were. Mockingbird was then and still is considered a important part of and crucial to changing many people's ideas about race prejudice and equal justice. The changes of ideas brought about in a movie theatre while watching Mockingbird helped to bring about real, meaningful, positive change in the real world beyond the theatre. Few films md few performances can justly make such a claim. Gregory Peck's brilliant, memorable portrayal of that "Lone Good Man" was the heart and soul, the centre of that seminal film. Accordingly, he deserved the Oscar and much more.
Certainly one of the greatest Hollywood stars ever. I had the opportunity to see him live in 1995 at the Miami Film Festival. He was a classy guy in all respects.
Gregory Peck was and still is a great person and a great actor. I can't think of any movie I. didn't like. The man had class, something you don't see in Hollywood today. As a dear friend of mine said" they don't make Stars like they use to" .How true those words are. May GREGORY PECK R.I.P.. May his family find happiness too.
I LOVED Gregory Peck in ALL his movies. My top favorite is as Atticus Finch, and coming in at second is his role in Roman Holiday. What a GREAT actor he was, and still watch his movies whenever I can.
Gregory Peck kept his humility as he rose to stardom. He maintained a down to earth personality and he was considerate of other people. He didn't have an easy childhood, but it didn't prevent him from being kind to others as they were going through challenges in their lives. Gregory Peck is well remembered and always will be. My favorite all time movie was Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird. A classic I continue to enjoy.
I can't narrow my choice when it comes to this man's work, I've never seen a performance that wasn't top tier. I do remember back in '76 when I found out that he was in The Omen, that I was thrilled (being a lover of that genre also), & he didn't disappoint, he was great, as usual.
LOVE Gregory Peck...my favorite actor. His best movie? Atticus, of course...but, every character Gregory Peck played was, and still is, a joy to watch.
‘Gentleman’s Agreement’ was one of my favorites. Especially when he ‘outs’ himself as not being Hewish and Celeste Holmes IS playing a Jewish woman who decries ‘some kinds of Jews that make it hard for us!’ Great scene.
Atticus Finch was definitely my favorite of all his portrayals. I was drawn to that character as a role model from a very young age, for the qualities that were written into him but also because of Gregory's eloquent, dignified manner, and his strength that was never too deep below the surface.
I will always love, Mr. Peck and his films. Thank you for sharing more about his life. Now I appreciate him even more because I know even more about him, thanks to this presentation.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. We're happy to know that you love Gregory! What other types of videos would you like to see?
To Kill a Mockingbird, Big Country, Roman Holiday which had a sad ending, couldn’t get the girl he fell in love due her Royal responsibilities. He was a great actor and a great parent. Very sorry for the loss of his son. He is the example of being a great actor, fashion icon, a example of what you don’t see in Hollywood anymore. A once in a lifetime actor! RIH Mr. Peck and Condolences to his family and friends! A celebration video of the great Gregory Peck.
gregory peck's character rand integirty was second to none.He truly did not have a bad bone in his body and was gracious and kind to everybody regardless if you were a waiter or some unknown.
He was in all things the embodiment of class, compassion, toughness when called for, and I would think a good judge of the roles he portrayed. That said the studios controlled so much of an actors choices during his younger career. However his practice of his craft is top of the line. Still watch his films.
One of my favorite films of GP is The Big Country...an underrated western...! Plus another western: The Gunfighter. But he was terrific in all his films, even those that weren't financially successful at the box office. 🌠👍♐
He was an incredible actor in a age when there were many of them. The Westerns he starred in play very well today 60 years later. Seems like the scripts were much better back then before the accountants and marketing executives started editing them.
He wasn't an incredible actor, he was an incredible star, there's a big difference. My favorite film of his is Mirage. Also the one with him and Ingrid Bergman.
Among my favorites, out of the many fine Gregory Peck performances, are James McKay in The Big Country Cleve Van Valen in How the West was Won and of course, Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.
One of my favorites. My favorite movie of his is 12 O'clock High. I was especially sad when he passed. He had a great voice. I watched him on Johnny Carson one time and was enthralled; such a gentleman.
General Frank Savage - Twelve O'Clock High. Every scene pure gold - especially the contrasting scenes where he tells Hugh Marlowe to name his aircraft the "Leper Colony", then has to talk to him in the infirmary as a wounded man. But then, everything he did was golden.
My favorite Gregory Peck movies were "Pork Chop Hill", "Mackenna's Gold", and "The Stalking Moon", I find myself needing to watch these films from time to time. Great actor and missed.
When I was a little kid my family was on a road trip and we checked out the set of the movie 'Mackenna's Gold' filmed in Utah, they had these huge boulders made out of styrofoam for the movie
He was my late mother's and millions (if not billions) of women's idol, the epitome of prince charming. He personifies the best of manly virtues seen commonly among leading men from the Hollywood Golder Era.
Just love the man off and on stage. No scandal. Decent. A great American hero for all time. And never try to remake To Kill A Mockingbird. HE IS ATTICUS FINCH!!
'Big Country' was a classic film with Peck playing the quintessential 'dude'. His role was enormously powerful in its depth of character and ' humaneness. Charlton Heston played the perfect anti-dude, whose rough' & ready western values were contrasted with Peck's eastern sensibilities. It was magnificently directed by William Wyler, who Peck did not speak to for the entire length of shooting. Peck and Heston were both incredibly larger than life superstars who played the larger than life super-heros on screen.
This post is spot on. Every actor in this movie was cast to perfection. Some of the lines used in this movie, I still use to this day like "Are you tying knots in my tail" " It will be a frosty Friday" or " It's a sorry Sunday" said my the great Burl Ives.
I actually loved his performance in The Boys from Brazil. The character he played, a nazi, was so against type that it was a superb performance. Also, how he kept his nerve with several attack dogs at his throat was incredible!
Both actors, Mitchum for scary ex-con and Gregory Peck as the upright lawyer, showed you don’t need a bunch of CGI or overwrought tattoos--yeah DeNiro, that’s YOU-- they just used the growing tensions to keep us all glued toward the screen.
Like a lot of others, To Kill A Monkingbird and Roman Holiday are favorites. The Big Country and The Bravados are two of his westerns that I love. He was a great actor and human being.
My favorite actor. My mother always told me she named me after him. I regret that I was never able to meet him. In addition to Atticus Finch , one of my favorite characters of his was Capt Horatio Hornblower, and I also liked his portrayal of General Savage in Twelve O'clock High very much. Someone once said of him, "He had the kind of face that belonged on money".
Once I communicated with a Hollywood insider she said as a woman he made you ooze becuase his voice, the way he carried himself, and he was extremely jaw dropping handsome. In addition, she said as a whole, he was all man becuase he was very confident, and he had a confident presence to him.
"The Big Country" with Peck, Charlton Heston, Chuck Conners, Burl Ives & Jean Simmons was one of my favorite Westerns. I highly recommend the movie. Other than that, thanks for the information.
His portrayal of the father in "The Yearling" impressed me mightily when I was a boy. As an adult moviegoer, I felt he carried the narrative of every film he was in, and was sure to bring a character to life in every instance. There aren't many like him anymore.
I wish Hollywood actors still carried themselves this way. Some of them do, but it’s more the exception than the rule. The definition of having both integrity and elegance.
@@FactsVerse Maybe some videos on more obscure, forgotten classic Hollywood actors? Herbert Marshall has a really inspiring backstory (in spite of a difficult personal life), but not many people remember him nowadays. Also, perhaps a video on my favorite actor, Lionel Barrymore? He was the first actor to have a successful career despite being in a wheelchair, which I've always found incredibly inspirational.
The first movie that I saw him as an actor when I was a kid was one called "The Yearling". An American ICON movie that was not mentioned. I saw him once in person while getting off a plane in Los Angles as he was getting on the same plane in December 1966. People were getting autographs from him. Wish I could have, however being in uniform trying to fly home for Christmas I could not afford the time and possibly miss a flight.
❤ I loved watching him in the movie "Dual in the Sun". My grandfather would not let my mother see the movie. She was ten years old and loved Gregory Peck.
I would like to see the movie of Gregory Peck in "Beloved Infindel" and the movie he was in with Ann Blythe where he was a ship's captain. Just can't think of the title of the movie.
Always found him to be an inspiration on how to be a decent American male. He was of my mother's generation a great generation indeed!! My favorite film role of his, all of them!!
My favorite movie is "To Kill A Mockingbird." Why? I was 14 years old and for the first time when the movie ended I felt tears in my eyes for recognizing the importance of the word "Tolerance" which isn't practice by my family and certainly helped me deal with life difficulties throughout my entire life.
He was pretty cool. Roman Holiday easily one of the best romantic comedies ever. Love him for that role!!!!!! Thanks and RIP GP wish you had been my father.
As a boomer and comparing then to now … got me thinking how America could really use this kind of understated presence with a solid moral compass example … more than ever right now!
He was a brilliant, brilliant actor best role I think was as Atticus Finch but he made many more he will be remembered as one of the great actors ever been.
My mother was a very beautiful woman in her youth and one night at a New Year’s party, Gregory Peck while admiring her beauty was a perfect gentleman…of course mom told the story that he hit on her.
With most actors, it is very difficult to select the film, but, with Gregory Peck, it was easy and obvious... Atticus Finch in, To Kill A Mockingbird. There has been no actor since, who could emulate the role, and I doubt there will be one, for some time to come. Such was his craft, he is sorely missed. A consummate actor.
I also liked Dual in the Sun. I saw it by accident because a colleague liked Jennifer Jones and he loaned me the video. A young Peck played a villain in that-I was surprised because I had never thought of him as anything but a ‘good guy’. He was still great in the role.
12 'O Clock High was my late uncle's favorite films. He portrayed General Frank Armstrong aka Frank Savage in the film. Colonel Maruice Preston commanded the 379th Bomb Group out of Kimbolton Hunts, and they both served with the 41st Bomb Wing of which the 379th was part of. His portrayal was extremely accurate of General Armstrong's demeanor and the actual words said by him.
I am saddened for this news about my favorite male actor and no-one knows another's pain,. He will be missed greatly and I hope to see him walk the streets of gold when we are arisen in the great day of the resurrection.

I think that one incident perfectly defines his off screen personality. He entered a restaurant with a few friends, was not recognized and was told that there would be a wait. As he settled in for that wait, one of the friends urged him to "tell them who you are." Peck's response was totally in character: "If I have to tell them who I am, then I ain't!"
He was with Jack Paar, at least as Jack told it.
Brilliant response! Such a class act.

His core nature shines through in his most iconic role- Atticus Finch. He was a stunningly handsome man on all levels.

Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Gregory. We're happy to know that your mother is a fan! Which of his films appealed to you the most?
Absolute favorite actor. He deserved all the fame and fortune he earned, not only for his remarkable career but for the integrity he lived.
We're happy to know that you love Gregory Peck! What is your favorite role of him?
Just love the man off and on stage. No scandal. Decent. A great American hero for all time. And never try to remake To Kill A Mockingbird. HE IS ATTICUS FINCH!!
'Big Country' was a classic film with Peck playing the quintessential
'dude'. His role was enormously powerful in its depth of character and '
humaneness. Charlton Heston played the perfect anti-dude, whose rough'
& ready western values were contrasted with Peck's eastern sensibilities.
It was magnificently directed by William Wyler, who Peck did not speak to
for the entire length of shooting. Peck and Heston were both incredibly larger
than life superstars who played the larger than life super-heros on screen.
This post is spot on. Every actor in this movie was cast to perfection. Some of the lines used in this movie, I still use to this day like "Are you tying knots in my tail" " It will be a frosty Friday" or " It's a sorry Sunday" said my the great Burl Ives.
Dan: what was his problem with Willie Wyler?
I actually loved his performance in The Boys from Brazil. The character he played, a nazi, was so against type that it was a superb performance. Also, how he kept his nerve with several attack dogs at his throat was incredible!
Yeah, he wasn't the most loveable of characters in that movie for sure, the book is really good.
Very underrated performance,and second only to his role of Ahab in Moby Dick.
@Anthony Hannafin an excellent film.
Cape fear was a brilliant thriller it still gives me goosebumps to this day from the first time I’d saw it in 1960tys Bloody scary 😳😰😵💫😮
Both actors, Mitchum for scary ex-con and Gregory Peck as the upright lawyer, showed you don’t need a bunch of CGI or overwrought tattoos--yeah DeNiro, that’s YOU-- they just used the growing tensions to keep us all glued toward the screen.
This was the best version. Mitchum scared you just by looking at his eyes-he looked truly evil. Peck acted at his best as always.
Like a lot of others, To Kill A Monkingbird and Roman Holiday are favorites. The Big Country and The Bravados are two of his westerns that I love. He was a great actor and human being.
I once met him. No Hollywood ego. No star personna. Just a down-to-earth nice man.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing your life story. We're happy to know that you had a chance to meet Gregory. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
He has always been my favorite actor. He leaves behind an impressive “ body of work” that few actors will achieve.
We're happy to know that you love Gregory Peck. What is your favorite role of him?
@@FactsVerse Horacio Hornblower is my #1, and his role in The Guns of Navarone….
My favorite actor. My mother always told me she named me after him. I regret that I was never able to meet him. In addition to Atticus Finch , one of my favorite characters of his was Capt Horatio Hornblower, and I also liked his portrayal of General Savage in Twelve O'clock High very much. Someone once said of him, "He had the kind of face that belonged on money".
We're happy to know that you love Gregory Peck! Also, thank you for sharing your favorite role of him and your life story! 👍
A great actor and beautiful looking man so many great performances.
He was wonderful in “The Keys To The Kingdom”!
We agree! Thank you for sharing your favorite role of Gregory Peck. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
Once I communicated with a Hollywood insider she said as a woman he made you ooze becuase his voice, the way he carried himself, and he was extremely jaw dropping handsome. In addition, she said as a whole, he was all man becuase he was very confident, and he had a confident presence to him.
"The Paradine Case" an Alfred Hitchcock film also starring Alida Valli
Great presentation. Thanks. Subscribed.
The most facinating and handsome actor ever. Thank you
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of videos would you like to see?
"The Big Country" with Peck, Charlton Heston, Chuck Conners, Burl Ives & Jean Simmons was one of my favorite Westerns. I highly recommend the movie. Other than that, thanks for the information.
To Kill a Mockingbird is an amazing movie CLASSIC! Peck is also fabulous in The Boys from Brazil.
We agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
He did an awesome job in the Hitchcock classic Spellbound.
His portrayal of the father in "The Yearling" impressed me mightily when I was a boy. As an adult moviegoer, I felt he carried the narrative of every film he was in, and was sure to bring a character to life in every instance. There aren't many like him anymore.
He appeared in a few less then the best westerns but his performance always made them worth watching. He had "the voice" also.
I keep his movie " McKenna`s Gold " in my collection. It`s my personal favorite.
The Guns of Navarone was a war movie
To Kill a Mockingbird and Roman Holiday. He was a real gentleman, and a true acting legend. They don't make them like this anymore.
We strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your favorite movie of Gregory. Be on the lookout for our next video!
Thanks for another wonderful video of my favorite Actor ❤ ♥ 💕 💙 💖 😊
I liked him in The Big country with Jean Simmons,one of my favourite films,so handsome
An iconic movie of Greg indeed! Thank you for sharing your favorite role of him 😊
“The Keys of the Kingdom” I consider his best movie!
I watch it several times a year!
Yes, The Keys of the Kingdom is definitely one of Gregory Peck's iconic roles ❤
The guns of Navarone and Roman Holiday. These were absolutely fantastic movies
Our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
My all time favorite actor, Late Mr Gregory Peck. We Miss you.
I wish Hollywood actors still carried themselves this way. Some of them do, but it’s more the exception than the rule. The definition of having both integrity and elegance.
Well said, we agree! Thank you for watching our content. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse I love this classical actors/ actresses series! Keep it up 👍 nobody highlights these forgotten greats like facts verse!
"To Kill a Mockingbird" (1962), "Cape Fear" (1962), and "The Stalking Moon" (1968) are my top 3 Gregory Peck movies.
Great films, thanks for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@FactsVerse Maybe some videos on more obscure, forgotten classic Hollywood actors? Herbert Marshall has a really inspiring backstory (in spite of a difficult personal life), but not many people remember him nowadays. Also, perhaps a video on my favorite actor, Lionel Barrymore? He was the first actor to have a successful career despite being in a wheelchair, which I've always found incredibly inspirational.
The first movie that I saw him as an actor when I was a kid was one called "The Yearling". An American ICON movie that was not mentioned. I saw him once in person while getting off a plane in Los Angles as he was getting on the same plane in December 1966. People were getting autographs from him. Wish I could have, however being in uniform trying to fly home for Christmas I could not afford the time and possibly miss a flight.
❤ I loved watching him in the movie "Dual in the Sun". My grandfather would not let my mother see the movie. She was ten years old and loved Gregory Peck.
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I would like to see the movie of Gregory Peck in "Beloved Infindel" and the movie he was in with Ann Blythe where he was a ship's captain. Just can't think of the title of the movie.
@@FactsVerse I would like to see the movie with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor called "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".
Gregory, loved your films...Attica was outstanding all our prayers 4 you..🙏🙏🙏

Always found him to be an inspiration on how to be a decent American male. He was of my mother's generation a great generation indeed!! My favorite film role of his, all of them!!
Glad to know that you are a fan of Gregory Peck! What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
There was no mention of the movie The Omen in 1976, which won an Oscar for best score.
The Guns of Navarone was a WW2 action movie.
My favorite movie is "To Kill A Mockingbird." Why? I was 14 years old and for the first time when the movie ended I felt tears in my eyes for recognizing the importance of the word "Tolerance" which isn't practice by my family and certainly helped me deal with life difficulties throughout my entire life.
To Kill a Mockingbird is one of Gregory Peck's iconic roles, if not the best. Thank you for sharing your favorite role of him ♥
He was pretty cool. Roman Holiday easily one of the best romantic comedies ever. Love him for that role!!!!!! Thanks and RIP GP wish you had been my father.
You guys know The Gunfighter?. He plays a dark compelling character
You forgot one of Peck's biggest hits and favorite parts: The marvelous swashbuckler Captain Horatio Hornblower.
My favorite is “Man in the Gray Flannel Suit” with Jennifer Jones, love it 😍 ❤
A true legend and gentle man...
My favourite film would be The Big Country. Which I have on dvd.
No doubt he was an Iconic ,legendary n the most dignified and most handsome actor.
As a boomer and comparing then to now … got me thinking how America could really use this kind of understated presence with a solid moral compass example … more than ever right now!
He was a brilliant, brilliant actor best role I think was as Atticus Finch but he made many more he will be remembered as one of the great actors ever been.
As General Savage in "12 O'clock High", one of the greatest of war movies. (UK)
I'm glad you did'nt diss him, i would've been very cross. He was a perfect gentleman. 👍🌷
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Gregory. In your opinion, what is his finest role?
@@FactsVerse Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Also Roman Holiday, where he mixed humour with romance. What is yours ?
One of my FAVORITES
My mother was a very beautiful woman in her youth and one night at a New Year’s party, Gregory Peck while admiring her beauty was a perfect gentleman…of course mom told the story that he hit on her.
Thanks for this; Gregory Peck is my favourite actor :-)
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video of Gregory. Which film of his appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse The 1962 version of Cape Fear
WHAT A HANDSOME MAN,WITH MORALITY AND HE WAS HUMBLE.THIS MAN HAD A SOUL.
Thank you so much for sharing your message for Gregory! If we may ask, what is your most memorable role of him?
His roll of Ahab in the 1956 Moby-Dick is amazing. I think his best.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for watching our content. Be on the lookout for our next video!
With most actors, it is very difficult to select the film, but, with Gregory Peck, it was easy and obvious... Atticus Finch in, To Kill A Mockingbird. There has been no actor since, who could emulate the role, and I doubt there will be one, for some time to come. Such was his craft, he is sorely missed. A consummate actor.
Gregory was an all-around performer and so handsome. Made so many top rated movies. My favorite movie of his is, dual in the Sun.
I also liked Dual in the Sun. I saw it by accident because a colleague liked Jennifer Jones and he loaned me the video. A young Peck played a villain in that-I was surprised because I had never thought of him as anything but a ‘good guy’. He was still great in the role.
Horacio Hornblower is my favorite Gregory Peck movie.
Thank you for sharing your favorite Gregory Peck film. What other types of videos would you like to see on our channel?
12 'O Clock High was my late uncle's favorite films. He portrayed General Frank Armstrong aka Frank Savage in the film. Colonel Maruice Preston commanded the 379th Bomb Group out of Kimbolton Hunts, and they both served with the 41st Bomb Wing of which the 379th was part of. His portrayal was extremely accurate of General Armstrong's demeanor and the actual words said by him.
The character he played in the film Other People's Money, I believe most accurately reflected his personal politics
One hell of a great actor one of my very favorite
My favorite Peck film is a tie between his role as King David in David and Bathsheba and Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Duel in the Sun with Jennifer Jones was my favorites movie and Moby Dick..
I am saddened for this news about my favorite male actor and no-one knows another's pain,. He will be missed greatly and I hope to see him walk the streets of gold when we are arisen in the great day of the resurrection.
