Actor: James Coburn

James Coburn won Best Supporting Actor for Affliction at seventy, after four decades of work and a long period of near-crippling rheumatoid arthritis that kept him from acting.

The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape established him, and the knife-throwing character in the former is almost entirely constructed from silence and a smile.

Our Man Flint parodied Bond while the series was still current, and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid gave him a genuine dramatic lead for Peckinpah.
