Charlton Heston: Roles
built 233 days ago
Heston's most frequently played roles on stage include the title role in Macbeth, Sir Thomas More in A Man For All Seasons, and Mark Antony in both Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra. He ... cited Mister Roberts as one of his favorite roles, and tried unsuccessfully to revive the show in the early '90s.
Heston is outstanding in his role and is given excellent support by an ensemble that never stoops to histrionics. Stockwell made his acting debut in this movie, as did Farentino. In one fight sequence Heston engages in some well-choreographed swordplay with Joe Canutt, son of legendary stuntman Yakima Canutt. Heston ... did a few of his stunts-fighting dangerously close to fire during one battle scene. Director Schaffner's final cut was subjected to further editing despite his wishes. Heston  was disappointed with the final results, though the movie remained one of his personal favorites.
Starting with 1973's The Three Musketeers, Heston began playing an increasing number of supporting roles and cameos. Despite this, his immense popularity has never died, and he has seen a steady stream of film and television roles ever since. Heston has an instantly recognizable voice, and is often heard as a narrator.
