    I saw Lawrence of Arabia as a teenager and my friends all had crushes on Omar sharif with his deep brown eyes. But Otoole with his sky blue eyes and THAT Voice!!! I still remember the s cene when he was whipped , he conveyed so much anguish in his face without saying a word. A genius , beautiful man and amazing artist ! Thanks Peter for what you gave the world!

    My parents took me to the Sydney premiere of Lawrence of Arabia. I was 12. I remember being swept away by the majesty of his performance. When the film ended, the audience was exhaused. Even watching it today, it does that to you. It was spellbinding. At a press conference he was asked what it took to act the role of Lawrence. He said, "My dear man, I am Lawrence. It will take three years for him to leave me." That was the committment and it showed.

    Peter lived a life like no other. He was an outrageous personality and an outstanding actor. His Lawrence was a performance that not only deserved an Oscar but should have acrued every acting accolade. His two performances of Henry 2 were unmatched. An amazing personality that lived his life as he wanted.

    Like many moviegoers, I discovered Peter O'Toole in LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. I've seen several of his subsequent films, but I've lost count of how many times I've seen LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. I don't know of another movie that so spectacularly made an actor a star. It seems fitting with Peter O'Toole's life.

    What a treasure of a memory to hold. I remember back in the late seventees i was a 17 - 18 year old and Peter O`Toole walked by along Harcourt Street in Dublin. He wore a full lenght crombie black coat with a 10 foot red scarfe wrapped around his neck. A Munster rugby fan on his merry way to meet some fellow `lunatics` in The Bailey` bar, off Grafton Street. I know because when i popped in a few hous later, there was the great man holding court at the bar surrounded by a few lucky ones in total awe of his way of telling a story thats charming enough not to bore the pants off people who are a generation below you. He was a gifted man. And the world of acting is a whole lot better for Peter O` Toole. R.I.P. Sir Peter.

Fell in love with the man when I was only 6 years old; the year after Lawrence of Arabia (my favorite movie of all time) was released...and remained in love with him until twenty years past eternity. Loved everything I watched him in. I even watched TROY because he was in it...not for Brad Pitt; not for Eric Bana...watched it for Peter O'Toole. To me, he was one of the BEST actors to ever grace the screen and/or stage. And he was damned good looking, too! Loved his "kiss my ass" attitude; loved his views on politics and the wars... I LOVE Peter O'Toole.

    Michael Caine had the best O’Toole story. Back when both were aspiring actors they were touring England in a play. Caine was O’Toole’s understudy and frequently had to be in costume when O’Toole was late in arriving for that night’s performance. After one show O’Toole suggested they go out for a quick dinner. They went to a nearby diner but from there Caine has no memory of what happened next until he and Peter woke up on the floor of the apartment of two dodgy looking girls. Neither of them knew where they were but eventually made it back to the theater where they were met by the owner of the diner who sternly told them they were banned for life from the establishment. Before Caine could ask what they did, O’Toole stopped him saying “it’s probably best not to know”. After that O’Toole never invited him out again, Caine thought Peter must’ve considered him a bad influence

    My first taste of O'Toole's acting was in the 1996 TV mini-series _Gulliver's Travels_, where he played the Emperor of the Lilliputs to absolutely hilarious effect. It's been fascinating to explore his work in reverse, to see exactly why he was so perfect to play the ultimate caricature of self-important British bureaucracy that I've associated with him since I was a kid watching _Gulliver's Travels_. His appearances on late night talk shows are also priceless!

    QBG I remember this Gulliver’s Travels- I also loved him in Man of La Mancha - just read that it was panned back when it was released- in part for non singers singing- I thought that matched the depiction of delusion - of Don Miguel Cervantes experiences as Don Quixote. I liked O’Toole in everything he did on film - I grew up in Canada impossible to see him on stage. If I could turn back time one of the experiences I would want to have.

    “My Favorite Year” remains one of my all time favorite movies. The casting was fantastic….the writing, comedic timing, and every character was perfect! I’ve seen it at least 10 times and can almost recite the lines, but it’s just as funny as the first time I saw it. Playing a drunk convincingly is actually really difficult, but of course, he nails it. If you’ve not seen it, I heartily recommend that you do.

    Someone else mentioned that the political climate of the time, in Hollywood specifically and in America generally, would not permit any other actor in any other film to win that year. Peck is superb, but TKM is a piss-poor screen adaptation (penned by a cousin of pro-Confederate historian Shelby Foote) of a brilliant novel that deserved much better treatment than something that's barely one-up on a made-for-tv movie of the time. They rushed to get it on screen, and does it ever show! Having said Peck's performance is superb, it certainly isn't superior to any of the other contenders. And there is absolutely no comparison between O'Toole's sustained professionalism in performing his role over many months on a desert location while Peck basically drove in from home and looked stern, interspersed with a few tender moments with the kids.
