He basically is gravitas. He also possessed the treasured Roman virtues of dignitas and auctoritas. And, like Roman men of ancient times, he liked a good dirty joke.

Yuck! How could his agent, his wife, his friends, let him out in public like that.

Sorry for going off topic but it makes him look dirty, despite his well-kept beard.

No one has dandruff that size. Jeez!

Mr. Gravitas himself.

Oh, I'm sorry -- I misread this one.

yeah yeah yeah yeah.

James Earl Jones comes to mind. And Tommy Lee Jones (let's not forget he was Gore's roommate at Harvard).

And what is that guy's name who now does the Ram commercials? Deep voice, was in Mask with Cher...always plays a biker type character. Dadgummit, why can I not remember his name??!!

I love him.

Thanks pb39!

Susan B Anthony, Malala Yousafzai, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, John Lennon...

Off the top of my head...

I think John Lennon would laugh his head off at the thought of exuding gravitas.

Bass voices don't hurt. But there are other attributes. Walter Cronkite was a baritone, but I think he qualifies.

And I'll add Patrick Swayze too. He was a very kind, gentle, and loyal man in real life. He didn't fame go to his head. I'm not sure gravitas is the right word for him, but I think he was a lovely man and I admired him a lot.

Also it was a real delight watching him dance.



Oh, and he's a horse person.

not the Mayhem guy
