I worked as an extra on the 'Good the Bad and the Ugly' in Spain in 1966. Of the three main actors, Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef. Lee Van Cleef treated us extras the best. Going as far as inviting a few of us to his house for a barbeque.

God I wish this country had men like Lee Cleef again. A real man in life.

The BEST BADASS western actor ever! He had the look and mannerisms for those parts. RIP Angel Eyes!

Him and Clinton Eastwood in the same movie thought I died and went to heaven

Lighting his match on Klaus Kinsky's (hump) back. Best scene ever.

I was in so Cal working as a stockman for Sav-on Drug Stores when Van Cleef came in to buy some Toilet paper. Asking him if he was an actor his response was "hell yes" he autographed a piece of paper for me. I was VERY impressed with him he was a great guy even in real life.

This was in 1961 or 62

Van Cleef was excellent NATURAL ACTOR.

One of the coolest bad guys!!!

LEE VAN CLEEF has been one of my favorite actors regardless of his role. He was a great actor in any role. 🎉😅😂 Thanks again for this video.

Imagine this I was born in 1951 and the first time I saw this man in a movie I fell in love with him. Everybody said how could you he wasn't handsome but there was something about his face and his eyes that captured my attention. I knew he was an old man compared to my age but it didn't matter. I must have been around 15 years old. The movie was High Noon. Since then I have never been attracted to men who were considered handsome or as I would say pretty. Now I'm ten years older than he was when he died. And when he did, I cried. Never ever had I cried for a movie star before or after. Crazy I know. To this day, I watch his movies as often as I can over and over again. And anything else I can find him starring in. Despite all the bad guys he played, I didn't get shivers down my spine because I had imagined he would have a soft spot for me. I don't know if anyone else has this mental issue. But I do know if you watch enough of the movies a person makes and the TV shows he is in, you can conjure up in your mind the perfect man of your dreams.

There's more to people then just looks. He is also appealing to me. It's his manliness. The tall silent gentleman. There was never any scandals. I really like him too

He was a great actor. Perfect face for westerns.

Cliff is one of the best western actor forever.

This man was greater than Holywood. Outstanding actor and human being cinema gave us the opportunity to meet this man. The Spaghetti Westerns were a fantastic insight into American history in the form of parody that could only be observed by an outsider in the form of a European director. Lee Van Cleef could hold an audience without even speaking, a quality particular in Sergio Leone films that involved epic storylines that lacked major rhetoric and left the audience to work out their own interpretation. Whenever Van Cleef appeared in a film it had a following simply by his inclusion in the cast. A tragic loss at such a young age we can only speculate what movies he could have made had he lived longer. One thing that is for sure is that they would have been excellent films and I feel he would have had a huge input into their direction. Thank you for making this piece about him. 🙂👍

He was the man you loved to hate and the coolest villain ever

My dad and I spent a whole day watching Clint Eastwood movies and he introduced me how badass LVC was. I love this guy, I wish he was still around.

One of the greatest western movie stars of all time .

170 movies and shows earned him only 2M over the decades?

Lee was one kind of special man. Perfect villain, didn’t need to speak, my all time favorite ❤️, God Bless Him.

He was a Legend My Favourite star in western movies Thank s

I saw Good bad ugly movie atleast 100 times in the 1990s.. I still remember many dialogues including that of "Bad"

Lee Van Cleef Clint Eastwood Charles Bronson John Wayne I think he was in pretty good company ‼️🇺🇸 can anyone top that 😎

Definitely one of my fav actors back in the day Clint as well of course. Sad to find out he died of the same smoking affliction that's killing me now but as smokers we all know the dangers. Not sure how many times I've seen the good the bad and the ugly but would happily watch it again as he's brilliant in that. A masterpiece of a film and imho not a boring bit in it. RIP Lee.

Lee Van Cleef was the ultimate super cool badass as Police Commissioner Bob Hauk in Escape From New York. And as McCarn in The Octagon.

I loved his acting, played such good characters!

He was on the rifleman a lot

Just one loook at this great actor was enough to Spears for the keen look and style was original and dominating a legend Who left great movies to treasure and remember May Good God Bless his soul

Love his movies...COOL guy. May he rest in peace...

A legend, In Westerns nobody in this earth could ever play those roles

I think he would have been the perfect Doc Holliday

His eyes made him

I was a freshman in high school and the music we used for our rally where are cheerleaders were voted in by the students. What an awesome movie.

Such an awesome badass actor --- absolutely unforgettable! Without even speaking he was scaring you and warning you bullets would soon fly. Thanks for detailing his career. WHAT A FACE!!!

I remember several of his roles, and always liked the quintessential looks of the bad hombre 👍

Wow the old actors had some real hustle!!!@@@ What a careerI i had no idea that he played in that many movies and television shows!@ Unbelievable his career can rival any of the greats!@

Angel eyes.

I LOVED THE MAN REST IN PEACE!!🙏

Loved him in The Good The Bad & The Ugly.

Angel eyes

Van Cleef has a small but impressive supporting role in The Bravados (1958), my favorite U.S. western.

I'm happy to find out more about Lee because he is one of my favorite actors he will always be great to me

ARCH VILLAIN STAR, WITH THE STRIKING LOOKS!!!👈🤠🔥🌟💥💯👆🙏

If a casting agent tells you you have a good look , or enough people, take acting lessons ! Van Cleef was also smart.

A great career for a great legend and sharpshooter who climbed to the top of a broken roller coaster and took out the RHEDOSAURUS, the FIRST CITY STOMPING GIANT MONSTER awakened by an atomic bomb.... in THE BEAST FROM 20 THOUSAND FATHOMS .....and used his sharpshooting skills to do it !! All of this in 1953, 16 months before GODZILLA !!!!

He and many others who always played bad guys are actors I like the most because they are so good at looking so mean. There were trademark quarks some like Bruce Durn had. These were men who only played bad guys.

I was blessed with the opportunity to meet legends Charlton Heston and Jimmy Stewart, Lee was number 3 on my list of actors I wish I had the opportunity to meet, but never got to.

Lee Van Cleef was a amazing actor , but at the end of the day I hope he knows God.🙏🏿

He truly was a star! Great acting one of my favorite villains!

Loved him in the TV series The Master ,also starred Sho kusogi

Lee Van Cleef was even more famous for his roles as a ninja.

Good actor Favorite of mine

The Master 🥷🏻

Lee van cliff was a very professional actor and was popular in many countries around the world. It's sad that he passed away at age 64 people should learn a lesson from him that alcohol and cigarettes is bad for you.

Eastwood is still alive at 96...wow

Lee was a class act.... top notch !

Imagine a director asking an actress or actor to undress during the audition in modern times?

Lee va cleef was a very handsome young man and a great actor and a proud man.respect LVC.

God bless his fine Memory.

He is still on of my favourite actor

Angel Eyes 🌟

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly; A Fist Full of Dollars; Few Dollars More. In the 70’s at a Drive-in theater in Hawaii, they featured all 3 films, that was a great deal at that time!

Wow he would be 99 years old now! A bit older than Eastwood

Lee Van Cleef is one of the famous very best actor make the people all over the world Happy and look forward to watch movie never forget we miss him at wall Thankyou 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I loved Lee van cliff ❤ great actor! Amen ✝️ 😢

Lee Van Cleef also played on "Laredo" when Captain Parmalee played by Phillip Carey when he tried to remember where he'd seen Van Cleef.

For some of his gun fighter rolls, I like how they'd have a broken spring noise (boyoyoing) before he'd give someone a lead implant!

A REAL HERO! The Bronze Star from the NAVY IN WW2! That was a BIG DEAL, for sure! They do not make "Actors" like him.anymore! So, Rest Peacefully Sit.❤

He was a 9 life path like his second wife, and his parents were both 3 life paths.

Good documentary.

Lee Van Cleef He Was Mean Characteristic Heroes

Great stuff thank you 👍

He’s such good actor and I loved his series in the 80’s too.

Always loved this guy!!❤

Happy Heavenly Remembrance , to a truly inspirational Talent .

Charismatic actor with a unique visage and cool name!

Him Clint and Randolph Scott three of the best.

A lot of these great actors in mostcase didn't like school and never finished school but turned out brilliant actors and people of screen ❤

I wish we had more modern day actors like Lee Van Cleef... instead of the CLOWNS like Robert De Niro of modern day Hollywood

Yo hey now great video

Thank you

He was also a pretty good mad scientist in the 1956 "It Conquered the World" one of my favorite sci-fi flicks.

I enjoyed all his movies 🎬.

A great man 👍 God bless him ❤️

Would be cool if we get a sequel of The Good Bad and The Ugly....with Eastwoods son..Scott!

He was way cool!👍👍👍😎

Legend ❤💪🏽

I've always suspected my dad was a smoker when he smoked 40 a day do you think I was right about him ???😮

He definitely had Angel Eyes

There is two kinds my friend... said client east wood. Not Lee Van Cleef

Somewhere between good and bad. Ironic, ambiguous. A mistery.
