Laurence Olivier was easily one of the greatest and most revered actors to ever live in the 20th Century (died in 1989, I think). His acting was not only technically perfect, but it had substance to it, as well. You see, I was actually surfing Youtube and came up on a monologue that he did from Richard III, which prompted me to create this topic. In my searching, I also found an interesting article on his acting:

Does anyone remember this guy? The work he did, the movies he was in, the wonderful portrayals of Shakespearian characters that he conjured?

And if anyone does remember, please share what you think about this person and his performances.

I'm not sure when they were done but I used to catch them on UKTV history, but they're not going to be on ever again.
