Several of my favorite childhood movies were in his extensive resume. RIP.

I recall a memorable character role in the Sinatra WWII vehicle "Never So Few".

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

he was a good actor, and evidently a decent guy.  Never liked the type of movies he did though.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Rose to prominence when it was still Hollywood, not Hollyweird. By all accounts, a class act. RIP, Dean.
