Started out playing intellectuals with a British accent, and Roman senators


It's so weird that COC became most famous for playing an uneducated bigot who could barely speak English, because he started out playing the opposite type characters, the brainy scientist, snooty intellectual with British accent and Roman senator. (He plays one of the co-conspirators in Julius Caesar's assassination in the movie, Cleopatra.)

His favorite role of mine will always be that of Bill Gillespie, the chief of police of Sparta Mississippi.
