Yesterday we took a look at Clint Eastwood’s best roles.\u00a0 Today, thanks to Brent Lang at Variety<\/a>, we’ll take a shot at listing Clint Eastwood greatest performances.\u00a0 Using just Lang’s list, here are my top five…<\/p>\n

Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry<\/em>.\u00a0 Eastwood was perfect in the role that had us cheering for a cop in a movie that would probably make Harry the villain in today’s world.<\/p>\n

Blondie aka The Man with No Name in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly<\/em>.\u00a0 Eastwood’s most iconic role in which he perfected the man of few words but quick guns.<\/p>\n

Will Munny in Unforgiven<\/em>.\u00a0 Eastwood’s performance anchored an Oscar-worthy (9 nominations) and Oscar-winning (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Film Editing) film.<\/p>\n

Dave in Play Misty for Me<\/em>.\u00a0 It was a first time for me.\u00a0 Seeing a big, tough guy terrorized by a woman.\u00a0 And who wouldn’t be?<\/p>\n

Frankie Dunn in Million Dollar Baby<\/em>:\u00a0 For me this was the first time Eastwood was playing an old man.\u00a0 The other roles came off as a guy getting older… on the brink of old age.\u00a0 I loved that being old didn’t mean life was over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
