Dear Mr. Hackman,

For me, this wish for just one more brought to mind
so many of the great performances he gave over his long career
and how much I miss watching him in great movies.
I remember the day the press announced that he was retiring
from acting. It made me feel like the day my favorite neighbor
moved away. I miss that Gene Hackman in movies these days. -

The final inevitable question: Can we hold on any hope of seeing you on the screen again?
Only in reruns.
That's it?
Yeah, that's it. I'm at a place where I feel very good about not having to work all night. -

Gene Hackman was originally going to play a part in Sean Penn's "The Indian Runner" that went to Charles Bronson. If Penn ever casts him in one of his movies, i think he will come out of retirement. The parts in his movies are just so good. Look what he did to Charles Bronson in the film and for Hal Holbrook in his Academy Award nominated part in "Into The Wild".

He probably doesn't like how Hollywood works now and thinks it best to leave his acting legacy as is, like Sean Connery did.
I do wish he did another movie though, there are plenty of directors he could collaborate with. -

He will now be playing a dead body in an upcoming Law and Order episode and then for a couple of crime drama movies and at least one action one.
