A Man's Man.

American icon Charlton Heston died this weekend at the age of 84. The Oscar winning actor dominated the silver screen in films like Ben Hur and Planet of the Apes. He gave us the line “Soylent Green is people! People!” and “Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape.” But some his most memorable work came later on in his life when he became the championing voice of the NRA. Now, those promoting gun control might actually get Heston’s gun.

Heston was as stoic as they come, both on and off the screen. Of course, he also never shied away from controversy. He never apologized for his stance on issues and that has to be commended. Omega Man, I salute you. Thanks for being a man’s man, whether it was right or wrong.
