James Coburn (born August 31, 1928) was an American actor.
Birth Name: James Harrison Coburn III
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Blue/Grey
Height: 6' 2"
Quote: "Actors are boring when they are not working."
He was featured in more than 70 films, largely in action roles, and made 100 television appearances during his 45-year career, ultimately winning an Academy Award in 1997 for his supporting role as Glen Whitehouse in Affliction.
A capable, rough-hewn leading man, his toothy grin and lanky body made him a perfect tough guy in numerous leading and supporting roles in westerns and action films, such as The Magnificent Seven, Hell Is for Heroes, The Great Escape, Charade, Our Man Flint, In Like Flint, Duck, You Sucker!, and Cross of Iron. Coburn also provided the voice of Henry Waternoose in the Pixar film Monsters, Inc.
During the late 1960s and early 1970s Coburn cultivated an image synonymous with "cool", and along with such contemporaries as Lee Marvin, Steve McQueen, and Charles Bronson became one of the prominent "tough-guy" actors of his day.
Coburn died of a heart attack on November 18, 2002 while listening to music at his Beverly Hills home.
