Charles Bronson Got His First Acting Gig Because He Could Burp on Command

Now listen, we all loveCharles Bronson.I think that much is certain.Bronson built his careeron being one of the most badass faces in 20th century action cinema. Running down the list, Bronson had theDeath Wishfranchise,The Dirty Dozen,The Great Escape, and much more to his name.
