Movie Character I Am Like [I Cry At Movies]

I am a lot like the professor Julian Osbourne in the 1959 movie On the Beach. Like him, I am an intellectual with a bunch of college degrees who also likes adventures and interesting challenges; Osbourne is also a race car driver whose lifetime dream is to win the Australian Grand Prix, which he finally does at the end of the movie. He commits suicide right after his triumphant race by carbon mono poisoning while sitting in his beloved Ferrari, a comfortable death for him, savoring the memory of winning the Grand Prix, enjoying the comfort of being in a place where he has only happy memories. The actor was described by one critic as "the unusually still-footed Fred Astaire," and it was Astaire's first non-dancing movie role. He certainly proved he could act at least as well as he dances.
