Frederic Forrest(1936-2023)

In 1976, in the quirky Western The Missouri Breaks (1976), he plays part of a group of men being hunted by Marlon Brando's character. That same year, Apocalypse Now (1979), started filming (to be released in 1979), where he plays part of a group of men who are hunting Brando's character.

It's a continual problem when you don't have the lead. There's always the possibility you'll get cut; you have no control. If there's a scene with a character who isn't the lead and if it threatens the main story or detracts from it in any way, it doesn't make a difference how good it is. It goes.
