The god damn dirty apes never got to take away his guns, no matter how hard they tried.
Heston is one of my favorite actors of all time (both Omega Man and Soylent Green are in permanent rotation in my household). Good Night, Funny Guy.

Give me a break. We all saw who the man is on his famous Michael Moore interview at "Bowling for Columbine"...
His acting career is over shadowed by his fascist ignorance and roll as NRA grand master. Good reddens, as far as I'm concerned. bigot.
You're probably one of the god damn dirty apes that spent years trying to take away his guns.
Taylor in Planet of the Apes (1968) is probably one of my all-time favorite roles portrayed by Charlton Heston. The delivery of the Rod Serling ending to this day gives me goosebumps every time I see it. I think it is clear that Heston will go down for generations to come as a remarkable actor and activist worthy of much respect and adoration.
guliamo, next time you're watching bowling for columbine, watch Heston's tie.
it keeps changing colors.
That's because Moore spliced bits from several different speeches together to make Heston seem crazier than he was.
Which is a shame, because Heston was nutty enough without Moore cheating.
