Paul Fix almost made my list along with Claude Akins (Doc on Gunsmoke). I had the privelege of meeting Mr. Akins in college. He came for an entire class and spoke. What a gentleman he was; smart, friendly, articulate and a class act. He said really enjoyed his time on Gunsmoke - that nobody ever argued, cursed, and always treated everyone with respect and dignity.

Probably a lot of others deserve the list also.

Default Western support?
Not a true wheelhouse for me- Lee Van Cleef, Katy Jurado, Ward Bond?

not in any order but,
Charles Bronson in Once upon a time in the west
Clint Eastwood in Paint your wagon
Chief Dan George in all of them but top mention Outlaw Jose Wales and Little Big Man.
Kate Hepburn in True Grit
Maureen O"Hara in most of the Dukes movies
Lee Marvin when he is not the lead
Lastly, Tuco
and many more that I can't think of

According to the websites Claude Akins appeared on Gunsmoke ten times and was a different character each time he appeared.

My bad - I must have had a senior moment. I meant to type Milburn Stone, but typed Claude Akins instead. I have a picture somewhere of Mr. Stone and myself, but have no idea where to start looking for it. If I find it, I'll post it.

All the actors/actresses mentioned are fantastic!

Strother Martin

Small but memorable roles in True Grit, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Rooster Cogburn to name a few.

The recipient of the greatest drop kick ever executed in a Western by the Duke in The Man who shot Liberty Valance.

What talent mentioned in this thread!

He was great in his role as Doc, I love the bickering between him and Chester and him and Festus.

It would be nice to see the picture of you two if you can find it.
