Was offered the role of 'Marshal Sam Gerard' in the 1993 thriller "The Fugitive". (edit) After he played Little Bill Daggett in "Unforgiven" (1992),Hackman vowed not to appear in any more violent films.After he had been in violent films dating back to "Bonnie and Clyde" (1967) and "The French Connection" (1971).In a role refused by Peter Boyle for the same reasons,he said he was fed up with them. (edit) As a young man,Hackman attended a showing of the movie "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951) and was impressed by the performance of Marlon Brando due to his naturalism and the fact that he didn't look like what a movie star typically looked like in the 1950s.After exiting the theater,he told his father that he wanted to be an actor. (edit) Was offered the role of President Franklin Roosevelt in "Pearl Harbor" (2001),but he turned it down.The role went to Jon Voight. (edit) Quote Gene Hackman:"I came to New York when I was 25,and I worked at Howard Johnson's in Times Square,where I did the door in this completely silly uniform. Before that,I had been a student at the Pasadena Playhouse,where I had been awarded the least likely to succeed prize,along with my pal Dustin Hoffman, which was a big reason we set off for New York together.Out of nowhere,this teacher I totally despised at the Pasadena Playhouse suddenly walked by HoJo's and came right up into my face and shouted,'See,Hackman,I told you that you would never amount to anything!'I felt 1 inch tall". (edit)
