Also put his Hollywood career on hold to serve in the Commandos during WWII.

He was extremely cool. I wasn't being glib. The guy had a very tragic, difficult life for somebody with his level of panache.

I think T-Roy was referencing O'Toole's famous line from one of my favorite all-time comedies, My Favorite Year. One of those movies I could see a millionth time like it was the first. Also, it's the movie where Bill Macy (the old Bill Macy) ad-libs a song called "Albania" to the tune of "When the Saints Go Marching In." I think.

Perhaps, but w/in the last year heard an interview w/ O'Toole
on NPR and one of the main points was that he has memorized all of the Shakespeare sonnets. The interviewer picked one at random and he recited it. Most beautiful.
