Tracy Letts

He really encompasses a lot.

His longevity goes a long way.

Not just longevity, not just living a long time, but that he could stay vital and continue to explore for such a large part of his career.

Well, in addition to being good, he also had taste, right?

And he continually associated himself with good projects.

Now, again, it's hard to make good movies, and so there are some that don't quite –

He was married to Scarlett O'Hara.

He was Heathcliff.
