    Also plays a hairy man well

    I saw Peter O'Toole first in "Lawrence", of course, and was struck by the weird masculine/feminine blurring in that character. That stuck with my perception of O'Toole for a long time, until I saw "The Lion in Winter", a friend's cult favorite. I was amazed to see how well he played Henry II, a hairy, manly-man character if there was one. I reached a new appreciation for the actor after that.
