Blackwater 53393 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was surprised to hear that Ned Batey is still living. Retired, 82 years old. I never figured George Carlin for a cowboy actor!! He has passed, but he was really good in Streets of Laredo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Hicks Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 We could probably squeeze a few more out of Christian Bale, Chris Pine, and Robert Taylor. As a matter of fact, I would love to see Peter Weller make a fuller return to acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Eye Ned Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Ok, so a lot have gone to the last round-up. I’ll tell you whom I like today: Chris Pratt; Samuel Jackson; Ethan Hawke; Curt Russell; Michael Madsen; Vince Dinoffrio; Bill Pullman; Robert Taylor; and Vince Vaughn. Of those that have been around a while with at least 2 Westerns, I particularly like: Bill Pullman; Curt Russell; and Chris Pratt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D’Onofrio, Pratt, and Hawke are in another one called, “The Kid” that is very good. I believe D’Onofrio produced it and the movie features his daughter.

"The Kid" it's about is not Billy the Kid (although he's obviously in it). So Billy is just a bit player in what's supposed to be his own movie.

Chato Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 The thread specifically states "HEROS" not two bit movie wanna be's. Given there were/are some really good actors. For me a real hero that also happened to be an actor but we can forgive him for that was Slim Pickens. How about the ones that fought in WW2 and later became actors. They were Heros. Today the word Hero has been cheapened down to the popcorn level and I don't like it. It's time to raise the title back up and stop calling every lardass a hero because he/she licked their silver spoon clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Actually, the thread specifies COWBOY HEROES. It has nothing to do with whether the man was actually heroic in real life. He played a hero in westerns. That is a COWBOY HERO. Just out of curiosity, what did Slim Pickens do that was so heroic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chato Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Slim started off riding horses but then became a rodeo clown (The first to dress up as a clown) the most famous one back then and he wound up doing a lot for the rodeo clown industry. Just a great all around cowpoke and good guy. I woulldn't call Wyatt Earp necessarily a hero, or Wild Bill based on their lifestyles. No worse no better than the rest of them. John Wesly Hardin in my opinion is on par with them. Even was friends with Wild Bill for awhile. Got into a feud with the Suttons and is wife and parents were taken into custody and his brother and two cousins were hanged herre in town after Hardin shot the sheriff. Life after the Civil War was hard and hard men shaped the west. I would also add Audie Murphey to the list. Most decorated soldier and Cowboy Hero.

Whiskey Hicks Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Lance Henriksen, a personally favorite actor of mine. Gunfighter’s Moon in ‘95, a hired ruffian in Appaloosa, few other Westerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South-Eye Ned Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 John Wesley Hardin was killed in the Acme Saloon in El Paso in 1895. I have business in El Paso every now and then, and I always forget or don’t have time to visit the original Saloon location or his grave ( not that I glorify him in any way). Google maps shows a clothing boutique on the location of the Saloon. Before the boutique opened for the first time, there were some murders in the basement.
