Gene Hackman's incredible life included time as United States Marine, an avid Cyclist, designing award-winning homes, restoring homes, and even in SCCA racing competitions.

He also had a legendary 5-decade acting career on stage and screen accumulating 2 Oscars (5 nominations), 2 BAFTA, 4 Golden Globe and a SAG awards along the way.

He's a star with an asteroid named after him. (wikipedia)

Today our northern collaborator Logan share's his thoughts with us on some of our favorite films starring or featuring the man himself.

Rest in Peace Mr. and Ms. Hackman.
