chartpolski 24,320 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Niven wasn't just a great actor, he gave up his Hollywood career to join the British army, and ended up a Colonel in Phantom brigade, a special forces unit. The epitome of the British gentleman ! Cheers. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
