Talking Pictures (channel 81) showed a mini biography of him. Quite amazing how many pictures he was in and how long his career lasted, by all accounts a good bloke. One more point

Rather than one big nose, he looked like he had one growing on top of the other. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

Harvey Keitel Although not particularly 'unsung', but rarely a lead actor and makes any film he's in much the better for it.

He's not exactly unknown but I've always felt that Bill Murray has never truly got the recognition he deserves... A truly fantastic actor... Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!
