He would write letters back to his girlfriend about how he was getting into the movie business and people laughed. His brother did graduate from there, Caesar Rodney high school in Delaware. Any famous person that spent any time of their life here in Delaware, we claim him as one of ours.I’ve always thought he was a really good actor, and G.I. Joe is such a powerful movie, they couldn’t even show it for years, it was too antiwar. Of course when I became a pothead in the 60s, he was really a hero to me
