Jimmie Stewart and John Wayne were likable people, Costner would have a hard time gettin' a cup of coffee in one of my camps.
Maybe Ol' Kevin just has a touch of Bad Karma!
I would say multi talented I gotta back the home boy guys..I loved Porter Wagoner,but that ole boy couldn't carry a note in a ten gallon bucket.
You folks have left one name off your list that needs to be added. I am proud to call him a personal Friend. Mr Buck Taylor who has had a long acting career on TV and the Movies. He's a pretty fair artist to boot.
Judge Roy Bean is right. I'm a huge fan of Duvall's work, but he is pretty limited to his acting range. I have no clue why the "Bash Costner bandwagon" has so many people on it. Heck, he made some real clunkers, but show me a highly-regarded actor who hasn't? I can point out some truly awful movies John Wayne was in! And as for his involvement in anti-gun movements, well, it's a free country. I like most of his work I've seen and I just don't get wrapped up in an actor's politics when it comes to watching their movies. Otherwise, I'd find a reason to not watch anything...
I don't think Ol' Bruce will efer live down his role in the Cowboys. You just can't shoot an American Icon and get away with it. Nobody likes it when the Hero gets killed by the Bad Guy.
I think you refer to "The Conqueror," featuring the Duke as Genghis Khan. Not until Monty Python would there again be a historical film so hilarious.
