John Gavin

. He has also directed films. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1971 to 1973. He made a cameo appearance as a rock band's manager in the Pink Floyd film The Wall, where his one-word expletive exclamation was the film's only dialogue. He was signed on for the role of James Bond after George Lazenby left the role, but he never played Bond in a movie. He takes it to the lavatory to read, and if it's an enthralling script, his buttocks will have gone cold due to the time elapsed. His most famous movie roles were in Psycho in 1960 and Spartacus in 1961. Hoskins is known for his "cold bum test" which he uses whenever he receives a new script.

Born April 8, 1928, as John Anthony Golenor, John Gavin is an American movie actor and former US Ambassador to Mexico. He has also appeared in Super Mario Bros. (1993), which was considered a flop. His performances in British films such as The Long Good Friday (1980) and Mona Lisa (1986) won him the approval of the critics and, in the case of the latter, an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. He hit the big time in 1978 when he starred in Dennis Potter's successful BBC drama serial, Pennies From Heaven. Born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, Hoskins had a number of occupations before going into acting, and made his stage debut in 1969.

Robert William "Bob" Hoskins (born October 26, 1942) is a British actor who specialises in playing Cockney rough diamonds and/or gangsters and in family films such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
