My Take
Todd represents a vanishing kind of leading man, and I have a soft spot for his quiet authority. A Dublin-born actor and Sandhurst graduate who actually served in the war, he brought lived weight to the military roles that defined him. His Oscar-nominated turn in The Hasty Heart announced a serious talent, and the Golden Globe recognition confirmed it. I prefer his restrained, grounded style to the bombast of modern stardom; there is craft in his stillness. His Disney Legend honour and OBE underline a career of substance, and I think his work holds up far better than its era's reputation suggests.
