Clinton Eastwood Jr., a hard core American actor, was born
in San Francisco on May 13, 1930. He was noticed by an assistant who was
working for Universal Studios and arranged for him to meet Arthur Lubin, director
of the series Rawhide. Lubin was impressed with Clint’s appearance and
6-foot-4-inch (1.93m) frame, but Lubin was a bit skeptical about Clint’s acting
skills. Clint was a little bit amateur in his audition and had no sense of
direction either. But after taking a few acting classes, he signed for a $100
per week contract. Clint did get criticized about his stiff mannerisms, hissing
his lines out and of course his now famous squint.
I like him not only as a director but also as a great actor.
In all of his movies and along with many other actors, Clint gets different
characters, except… it almost looks like he’s not trying to act. His real
personality relates to his characters, which makes his acting look a little
more real. He always keeps to himself in
his movies and is quiet in the background somewhere. He never acts like the main character or the
hero in his movies, even when he’s directing a movie that stars himself in it, like
The Outlaw of Josey Whales.
When Clint Eastwood was born, he was 11lbs, 6oz and (5.2.kg)
he was known to be the biggest baby born in his town. Now, he is known as an actor, director,
producer, composer, and politician. Clint will always be known for one of his
best characters, “the Man with No Name”, from Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy
along with other famous spaghetti westerns like my favorite: The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly. Eastwood has done over 50 films in his career as actor, director,
producer, and composer. He acted in several televised series, mostly starring
in Rawhide of course. He started his directing career in 1971, and in 1982 he
debut as a producer for Firefox. Clint also contributed music to his movies by
composing, writing, or even by performing. Eastwood has mainly starred in westerns,
action, and dramas. He is a wonderful actor and director and we all cherish his
squint!
