Clinton "Clint" Eastwood, Jr. is an American actor, film director, producer and composer. He rose to international fame with his role as the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" of spaghetti Westerns during the 1960s (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), and as Harry Callahan in the five "Dirty Harry" films throughout the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, among others, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Dirty Harry, released in 1971, centers around a hard-edged New York City (later changed to San Francisco) police inspector named Harry Callahan who is determined to stop a psychotic killer by any means. Dirty Harry has been described as being arguably Eastwood's most memorable character, and the film has been credited with inventing the "loose-cannon cop" genre. His movie lines (e.g., "You've got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do you, punk?") have been cited as among the most memorable in cinematic history. Eastwood directed and starred in the fourth "Dirty Harry" film, Sudden Impact, released in 1983 and considered the darkest and most violent of the series. The line "Go ahead, make my day" (uttered by Eastwood during an early scene in a coffee shop) is often cited as one of cinema's immortal lines. In fact, it was quoted by President Ronald Reagan in a speech to Congress, and used by Reagan during his 1984 re-election campaign.
