So many great roles and a breath of fresh air among a garbage dump of Hollywood "elites". I will most certainly raise a toast to him today. -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

Put me down for the first being Midnight Cowboy. The first X rated film to win best picture academy award, although today it would probably be PG13. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves. -D.H. Lawrence | |||

One of Hollywood's greats. I loved him in "Five People You Meet In Heaven," a movie that really made me think. I once saw someone pressing him for a statement on his daughter. He finally said, "Bless her heart, I love her to death. No further comment." | |||

His daughter will not allow him to see his grandchildren. Despicable. | |||

To show what a great actor he is - his role on Ray Donavon (Mickey Donavon) is a despicable character UNLIKE him in every way. | |||

He is genius as Mickey Donovan, the degenerate father of Ray Donovan. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I was first introduced to Jon Voight in the movie The Champ. It’s a real tear jerker and I became a big fan after that. He’s top notch in my books. __________________ Member NRA Member NYSRPA | |||

Yes, he is one of the good guys. And a great actor. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

I agree that his role as Mickey Donovan is some of the best acting I have ever seen. And the series is great-- "Ray Donovan". Bought season 1, which I have almost completed-- just 2 more to go. I will certainly purchase season 2, and likely every season. For consistently great writing, acting, direction, it rivals The Sopranos. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

No doubt Jon Voight is a great American and actor for the aforementioned reasons. One television role I thought he was really excellent in was as Jonas Hodges, who was the leader of the shadowy organization in "24: Redemption" in 2008. He can definitely play a great bad guy. | |||

If you watch "Ray Donovan" it's a twofer: Jon Voight and James Woods. Really great acting-- you "forget" you are watching actors. You are completely absorbed in the characters, in the story. Voight and Woods both do that -- along with pretty much the whole cast. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

One of the greats that doesn’t get his due among actors. Very versatile. He’s played the President (Pearl Harbor) and many roles where he had to alter his face for the role. I really like him in the Rainmaker, and as was said, he makes Ray Donovan. No small feat for a man his age. I haven’t read if he has reconciled with his daughter, Angelina Jolie. And it goes to show you, as a conservative, he can disassociate his political views with his roles when he can play a young gigolo that swings both ways in Midnight Cowboy. What am I doing?
