Academy Award winner Charlton Heston's favorite movie was his title role as "Will Penny" in the 1967 western. Written and directed by Tom Gries ("Breakheart Pass," "100 Rifles," "Helter Skelter"), Heston's favorite also became the first film for young Jon Gries, son of the director. Jon shares a memorable tale of, at the age of 9, getting cast as one of the leads in the film and then quit, walking off the set in the middle of a scene. Now a successful character actor with roles in "Napoleon Dynamite," the "Taken" series, "Men in Black" and starring as Dr. Roberts in his own series, "Dream Corps LLC," Jon has special memories of working with actress Joan Hackett and being taught and mentored by his father. Theatrical trailer clips are "fair use" per Copyright Act 1976.
