Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I dug up a couple of additional things about McQ.

When talking about his worst movies, nobody has yet mentioned "The Towering Inferno", which was so bad that I blocked it out until I read the info linked.

The site also has the statement, "His "anti-hero" persona, which he developed at the height of the Vietnam counterculture, made him one of the top box-office draws of the 1960s and 1970s." That helps explain his style and popularity. Timing versus culture.

The zero range characteristic I think is shared by many popular actors who substitute presence for ability: Cruise, Newmann, Stallone, Costner ... others. Some of these, like McQ, tap into a brooding presence; some go for a plastic facade ilke Cruise.
