When people think of the term “character actor” many turn to one of the greats, Ned Beatty, as a prime example. A veteran of over 160 films Ned Beatty had quite a career spanning nearly five decades and containing numerous iconic features where he may not have been the main character, but he was one of the most memorable. Starting his career on stage and eventually working up to the big and small screen Beatty would go on to become one of the most notable names of his generation even if his star rarely shined as bright as the megastars he worked alongside. With his death on June 13, 2021 at the age of 83 Beatty leaves behind a legacy as the definitive character actor, a supporting performer who usually contrasted the main character with his eccentricities and uniqueness. So today in his honor let’s dive into the legacy of the man himself and remember the life and career of Ned Beatty.
