Read a book based on his life some years ago . A real hard nose so & so coming from a non~english speaking refugee background . His big buddy was Burt Lancaster , another actor capable of scene stealing by sheer presence .
Happy Birthday .

Do you reckon that every time Death came calling this year some other celebrity put their hand up and claimed to be Spartacus?

Some innings this - 'I'm Spartacus!' candidates this year include Peter Fonda, Albert Finney, Rutger Hauer, Rip Torn and that spooky Charlie X character from an early Star Trek.
