Now Viewing: clint_eastwoodTag type: Character Tag refers to any image featuring the iconic American actor/director/politician. He was born on May 31, 1930. He is most famous for starring in Westerns where he often played tough and morally gray anti-heroes with the Man with No Name being the most iconic of such characters. Even his non-Western movies have a degree of Western influence as his other most iconic character, 'Dirty' Harry Callahan, is often compared to a cowboy and is also responsible for popularizing the cowboy cop hero, a usually well-meaning hero who often clashes with his superiors due to his unorthodox and reckless tactics in fighting crime. Clint Eastwood is also an anagram for Old West Action. Many Western homages and parodies reference Eastwood's movies and occasionally include a character based off of his likeness. He has a long and very prolific film career as both an actor and a director. He began directing in the 1970s with the movie Play Misty for Me and has directed many films since. From the 1990s onwards, he has branched out and worked on more less action-oriented works. After the movie 2008 Gran Torino, he has focused almost entirely on directing. He is known for being a fast worker as a director and avoids multiple takes of a single scene, something he hated doing as an actor. He even avoids having the actors rehearse their dialogue or use storyboards to plan out scenes. This style allows him to finish his movies quickly and is one reason why he is able to make a lot of movies within the span of a few years. He has been highly acclaimed both as an actor and director and has won two awards for Best Director. He is also known for his fondness of jazz music and many of his movies feature a jazz soundtrack. He has even composed jazz songs of his own as well as soundtracks to various movies. He is also famous for his distinctive intimidating squint as well as his low gruff sounding voice.
