That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
I'm partial to many of the films of Clint Eastwood (gotta wonder just what he was thinking with the ape movies though).
Was there ever any one other than THE DUKE

A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.
Norman Reedus, Ralph Fiennes, Chris Hemsworth, Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen, Robert Duvall, Michael Caine and Brendan Fraser have all done my most favorite movies.
I would like to name a few that did movies I loved growing up but names like Arnold and Sylvester aren't appropriate for civilized conversation.
John Wayne Tom Selleck and Morgan Freeman

bob hope and johnny depp, I also like spencer tracy, and dustin Hoffman.

Clint Eastwood is my favorite. But I also like Tom Selleck and Steve McQueen. For comedians I can't decide between Bill Murray and W.C. Fields.
Most of the above plus.
Tom Hanks has made some good ones.
Danny Trijo. For a scary looking Mexican-American, he's got a huge heart and helps out a lot of folks when he's not on set.

Older films, John Wayne, Newer films Bruce Willis
Honorable mentions goes to Sam Elliot for is role in "We were solders" I love that line when the he throws the M16 to the camera guy and the guy says "I am noncombatant" and Same says "no such thing today boy"
John Wayne!
Followed by Heston, Jimmy Stewart, Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster, Glenn Ford, Eastwood and Grant.
And, don't forget Ben Johnson. Great actor, man's man, a real cowboy as apposed to a cowboy actor, top horseman, the real deal. Like Slim Pickens who came to the Motion Picture Industry shortly after him, Ben Johnson came from the rodeo circuit (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's Team Roping World Champion in 1953).

I have say the folks who matched the actors with the film's content is the real winner in most of the "great" movies. Naturally, the director obviously attatched the "heroes" in lots of these movies, such as Ford-Wayne; Hitchcock-Grant, etc. Gregory Peck was a natural cowboy at heart (from talk shows) but seldom played the part. Some directors wanted the actors to be one-take actors (Sinatra, ad lib type) to save film time, and others wanted actors to follow the "script" (Tracy, Burton) no matter what. And some directors liked to go with the flow by taking suggestions from the actors (Betty Davis, etc.) themselves during the course of the film no matter how many takes. ... felix

REAL COWBOYS? Weren't Roy Rodgers AND Gene Autry actually cowboys BEFORE they were hired for the movies?
WE WON. WE BEAT THE MACHINE. WE HAVE CCW NOW.
Berl Ives and Walter Brennen are a couple favorites. And another is Burt Lancaster in Valdez is coming and The Bird man of Alcatraz.
