I never dislike someone who has opposing political beliefs and stands up for them, thats waht a democracy is after all.
I respect any man whos passionate about what he stands for, its much better than apathy about the issues.
And he was I guess one of the last of the full blooded actors who could dominate the screen. But he was certainly a capable actor , and did quiet moments well too.
RIP Mr Heston , you are at peace now.
