Good Friday

Jesus:  "I am the good shepherd. I lay down my life for My sheep. No-one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down and the power to take it up again. This command is from my Father."



Satan: "No one man can carry this burden, I tell you. It is far too heavy. Saving their souls is too costly.

No-one. Ever. 

No.    Never."

Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Luke: I can eat fifty eggs.
Dragline: Nobody can eat fifty eggs.
Society Red: You just said he could eat anything.
Dragline: Did you ever eat fifty eggs?
Luke: Nobody ever eat fifty eggs.
Prisoner: Hey, Babalugats. We got a bet here.
Dragline: My boy says he can eat fifty eggs, he can eat fifty eggs.
Loudmouth Steve: Yeah, but in how long?
Luke: A hour.
Society Red: Well, I believe I'll take part of that wager.
  George Harris Kennedy Jr.
in New York City, New York, USA
Died: (age 91) in Boise, Idaho, USA 
One of his first roles in film was that of a slave in Spartacus (1960). When the crowd was asked for Spartacus, he was the last close-up of a slave yelling, "I am Spartacus".
A former Army career soldier, Kennedy attacked Cary Grant with a steel claw, pursued Joan Crawford with an ax, attempted to assassinate Gregory Peck, and kicked Jeff Bridges to death.

Due to his tall, enormously broad frame, Kennedy was frequently cast in the 1960s and 1970s as bullies and thugs, and had the distinction of brutalizing stars like Cary Grant, Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood on-screen while gaining a reputation off-screen as one of the nicest actors around. 
So,  he attacked Cary Grant with a steel claw, pursued Joan Crawford with an ax, attempted to assassinate Gregory Peck, and kicked Jeff Bridges to death on camera, not in real life.
