Gene Hackman

About Gene Hackman

There are not many actors that have been at the top as long as Gene Hackman. He is in the top 100 lists for the past four decennia, and although it is at the moment unlikely that he will also be in the top 100 list for the period 2000-2010, his career is far from over. He often plays bad guys in movies and even his good guys are rarely a likeable person.
