Charlton Heston passed away early this morning at the ripe old age of eighty-four. Disney fans will remember him as the Narrator from the Uber-cheesy fest that was "Armageddon" and quite literally the Voice of the Gods in "Hercules". Personally, his narration was one of only two things about that Michael Bay movie that I enjoyed. He was a movie star, film legend and had a career up on the silver screen that most actors could only dream of today...
To go on and list his film achievements would be too long and to wax on about him would be useless since Harry Knowles over at Ain't It Cool News has posted a great eulogy to the man. Moriarty also chimes in on El Cid here.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
