Empire Falls (HBO), for which he won an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a SAG prize I didn't mention The Hustler or Luke bcs you had, but I should also point out his Broadway performances. In the '50s, he was on stage three times and originated three roles that are all still performed: the good boy in "Picnic," the lead gunman in "The Desperate Hours," and Chance in "Sweet Bird of Youth," which was written for him. In 2000something he appeared as the Stage Manager in "Our Town," nearly 50 years after playing George Gibbs on a live TV version of it (during which Frank Sinatra was the Stage Manager and sang the original-for-that-show song "Love and Marriage").
What can I say? I'm a Newman freak..
