Some of his best-known films include "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "Deliverence" (1972) and "Coming Home" (1978). The latter role earned him the Academy Award for best actor. Aside from his Oscar victory, Voight also earned Oscar nominations for his roles in "Cowboy," "Runaway Train" (1985) and "Ali" (2001).
