Title: Now, who is your favorite western star???
Post by: Waitone on February 11, 2007, 05:36:53 PM

Now that we've determined the cream of the crop in westerns, who is your favorite western star?  I'm not interested in box office draw.  I'm talkin' who is the most realistic and believable star in movies or TV.

I have always thought Clint Eastwood would not have made it as big as he did had
Eric Flemming (Gil Favor, Rowdy's trail boss) remained alive.  He just had the look and feel of a genuine official cowpuncher.

Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, Charles Bronson (in that order).

I'll be honest, I haven't really seen that many westerns, and this is the only one I've seen him in, but Yul Brynner was awesome in Magnificent Seven.
Then of course, there's Lee Van Cleef, Eastwood, Audie Murphy and John Wayne.  I'm also partial to Willie Nelson in Barbarosa.
