Eugene Allen "Gene" Hackman[1] (born January 30, 1930) is a two-time Academy Award-winning American actor. He came to fame during the 1970s, after his role in The French Connection, and continued to appear in major roles in Hollywood films, including Harry Caul in The Conversation, Norman Dale in Hoosiers, Little Bill Dagget in the multiple Academy Award winning Unforgiven, Lex Luthor in Superman The Movie (and its sequels), Joe Moore in Heist and more recently, Admiral Leslie McMahon Reigart in Behind Enemy Lines.

Hackman has an ability to disappear into the roles he plays, blending a character actor aesthetic with his leading man status. He is also versatile, able to deliver hard-edged performances in The French Connection and Mississippi Burning as well as convincing comedic turns in fare such as The Birdcage and The Royal Tenenbaums. Together with undersea archaeologist Daniel Lenihan, Hackman also wrote two novels: Wake of the Perdido Star (1999) and Justice for None (2004).

His final film to date was the critically panned Welcome to Mooseport.

His distinctive voice can be heard in television commercials from time-to-time, notably for United Airlines, GTE, CNN, and more recently for Oppenheimer Funds and Lowe's Home
