Okay, a cheap joke, but no matter how one feels about Charlton Heston being the NRA leader/patriarch over the past decade or so, he did some fine, memorable acting work. Famously a bit overwrought at times -- William Shatner with actual talent, you might say -- but still memorable. Moses, Judah Ben-Hur, El Cid, Michelangelo, even George Taylor, Robert Neville, Robert Thorn, or the Cardinal Richelieu ... he brought a majesty and gravitas to anything he did.
And his style was always eminently quotable.
RIP.

He did do a kick-ass Cardinal Richelieu.
