Clint Eastwood
FactsOccupation: Actor Also: Director, Producer, Composer Birthname: Clinton Eastwood, Jr. Birthdate: May 31, 1930 Birthplace: San Francisco, California Education: Los Angeles City College (business) Character: Lieutenant Morris Schaffer Biography Clinton Eastwood Jr was born in San Francisco 1930 and grew up in Depression-era California. His parents were itinerant workers. After he high school he worked as a lumberjack in Oregon, played honky-tonk piano. He also worked for the US Army as a swimming instructor. After these period of jobs hes started to study business at Los Angeles College. He signed for Universal and had his first experience with the indignities suffered by actors in a "Francis the Talking Mule" movie, Francis in the Navy. After starring in many B-movies he moved to New York and got the role as the trail boss Rowdy Yates in the sucessful TV series Rawhide. His TV experience and lots of training helped him develop the minimalist acting style for which he is famous. This was first seen in a trilogy of Spaghetti westerned directed by Sergio Leone in Spain: A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The good, the bad and the ugly. These movies made Eastwood an international star. After the Spaghetti Westerns he played "Dirty" Harry Callahan, the cop of Don Siegel's Dirty Harry. Dirty Harry was a policeman who found it easier to shoot suspects than to interrogate them. Eastwood became a star for his roles in action movies, but he also starred in severeal popular comedies, like Every Which Way But Loose and Any Which Way You Can. Clint Eastwood's next star vehicle, In the Line of Fire, was a great success and passed the $100 million mark i just a few month. He directed his next subsequent feature, A Perfect World. The cast included, except him self, Kevin Costner and his seven year-old hostage/companion. His latest movies includes the romatic movie The Bridges of Madison County (where he starred against Merryl) and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

As "liuetenent schaefer" , I must say that his attitude about his movie role assisting the brits was on e that left me heavily amused -Major schmidt tellin ghim little by little until he could fully trust Schaefer I guess....(?)....the movie certainly was indeed "where eagle s dare " all right......it is such a classic....we really need something like it again...!
