After two film roles, he joined the COI as an agent, and later became a Marine and (briefly) a Communist. He continued acting merely to finance his many voyages and journeys. He appeared in several sucessful movies, including The Godfather: Part I (as Captain McCluskey) and Dr Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
Sterling Hayden died of prostate cancer in 1986.
