What can I say? One of the greatest. I need another shot of Glenmorangie.

What a great picture of him, para. Helluva run. God rest his soul.
The first role that came to mind for me was Lonely Are the Brave, from the Ed Abbey book “The Brave Cowboy.” He was perfect.

Great genes! I loved him in the old big screen masterpieces. I'm 60, and he has been always there for my memory. 103! Wow! What a run.

Truly a great one and probably the last movie star from Hollywood’s Golden Age. RIP.

He provided a lot of fine entertainment over many years. 103 isn't doing too bad! Olivia de Havilland is a few months older than Kirk and is still with us. Doris Day passed in Spring of last year at 97.

I always remembered him from "The Final Countdown."
Not highly regard by Rotten Tomatoes, but I always liked "In Harm's Way".

Rest In Peace, Kirk. While he made made some great movies, I loved ‘Greedy’.

These old lions of hollywood are just about gone now. These guys brought a lot of gravitas and screen presence didn't they?
I've always had a particular fondness for this scene:
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11
...But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth by Him shall glory, but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. - Psalm 63:11 [excerpted]

RIP Sir, As a kid I loved 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I also liked him in Cast a Giant Shadow.

One of my favorite male actors of the era.
Saw him recently in The Man From Snowy River, Draw!, The Last Sunset, and Man Without A Star.
He lived a helluva life, and will be sorely missed.
RIP

What a life. I didn't realize he lived so long to be 103, amazing. He seemed pretty with it for that age, at least some of the interviews he gave a few years prior. I was able to see only his modern works in the theater like "The Villain"-enjoyed that as a kid,"Tough Guys",etc., and have seen some of his older stuff on tv and enjoyed them. Of course, Spartacus was most enjoyable.
