My Take
Hayden fascinates me as a man who lived several lives at once. A towering 196cm leading man in noir and Westerns, from The Asphalt Jungle to Kubrick's The Killing, he also earned a Silver Star as a military officer and later became a novelist and autobiographer. That blend of the rugged screen tough guy and the introspective writer is what draws me in. I love performers whose real lives are as compelling as their roles, and Hayden's restless, lone-wolf streak gives his work a weight few contemporaries matched. His craggy presence still lingers long after his 1986 passing.
