Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider were late bloomers.

Speaking of Gene Hackman, it's probably Detective Jimmy Doyle, aka "Popeye," who he played in "The French Connection" (1971). For this film, Hackman won the Academy Award for Best Actor and gained attention. He had previously been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performances in `` Bonnie and Clyde '' (1967) and `` Portrait of the Father '' (1970), but unfortunately he still hasn't been able to attract an audience. He wasn't a star actor.

Born in 1930, Hackman had just turned 42 when he won the award. The year after ``The French Connection,'' he starred in the blockbuster panic blockbuster `` The Poseidon Adventure '' (1972). However, considering that Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and Sean Connery, who were also born in 1930, were already star actors in the 1960s, he falls into the so-called "late bloomer" category.

"The French Connection" preview

What impressed me most about this movie was Roy Scheider, who played Detective Buddy Russo, also known as Popeye's partner "Claudy." It has a fearless face and a uniquely shaped nose that you will never forget once you see it. This is because Scheider, who was an amateur welterweight boxer until 1949, broke his nose in a fight. Although it is not certain whether this is true or not, it is said that the name of the special effects TV drama ` `Space Sheriff Scheider '', which aired from 1982 to 1983, was derived from Roy Scheider.

Born in 1932, he is also a late-blooming actor. He served in the Air Force until 1964, making his film acting debut in the 1964 horror film The Curse of the Living Corpse. Considering that James Dean, who was born in 1931, and Elizabeth Taylor, who was also born in 1932, co-starred in `` Giants '' (1956) as two popular Hollywood stars, we can infer the length of his career. will be possible.

No one knows what happened to Cloudy after that.
