chops JD did.
McQ had ZERO range, a complete inability to portray personal suffering, or emotional nuance.
He also wasn't at his best with dialogue over a sentence.
Dean was the complete package, even at a young age. He could explode from hurt to white-hot anger in an instant and then reverse to vulnerability.
McQ was a heroic actor in the old sense.
I think his most effective work occurred in those films wherein the character was cool in the face of great danger; his physical presence and grace also were of star quality.
Unfortunately, I think his weakest roles were in more demanding roles such as "Papillon"( a very disappointing and flawed film, anyhow) and the equally bad "The Sand Pebbles."
