Class Act

I have always enjoyed Gregory Peck as an actor. His characters always seemed courageous and ready to fight injustice. I believe the real Gregory Peck had those same qualities. And if I am to be completely honest to say that he was handsome back in the day is a complete understatement, IMHO.

Behold:






















Here are just a few of my favorite quotes that have been attributed to him.

"They say the bad guys are more interesting to play but there is more to it than that - playing the good guys is more challenging because it's harder to make them interesting."

"It just seems silly to me that something so right and simple has to be fought for at all." - regarding gay rights

"I'm not a do-gooder. It embarrassed me to be classified as a humanitarian. I simply take part in activities that I believe in."
