Perfect casting as Tell Sackett

I worked as a reenactor with Sam Elliot who was cast in the lead role on the TV movie "Gone to Texas" (aka "Houston, the Legend of Texas") in 1986. I found Sam to be a charismatic, down-to-earth gentleman who never put himself above the other actors or even the reenactors. I believe THAT is the essence of Sam Elliot, regardless of the role he is playing... not to mention the fact that whatever character is is portrying, his performance is consistently realistic and convincing.

Sad this was one of my least favorite movie that Sam made. I liked the Sacketts, Conager, and the quick and the dead. Along with his top three as a start i just like his movies.

The Sackett's and We Were Soldiers were cast perfectly. I've tried to imagine different actors playing the part of Tel Sackett and CSM Basil Plumley and nobody else could have done it as well.

I enjoyed his character in the original “The Quick and the Dead” with Tom Conti and Kate Capshaw.

For a non-cowboy role: Mask For a more recent film: Did You Hear About The Morgan’s? (Loved that one, he’s so funny) He’s great in everything else he’s ever done.

I met him one night in Daytona Beach 1975 or 6 (spring break) and he was on a promotional thing for Lifeguard. I went up to him and said I recognized him from a bit part in Policewoman. He was amazed as he was completely unknown and told me a had one helluva memory. We hung in the bar with the large crowd and had quite a number of beers together as he was by himself. A great down to earth personable guy just like his characters.

You can’t leave out “Conaugher”. It was such a love story. Inspite of everything that got in his way he never forgot her. I loved him in “Tombstone” too. But that wasn’t a happily ever after. Not when your crippled and separated from your family. In this country we favor the underdog. We want him to win in the end. Only in “Conaugher” does he beat the bad guys and get the girl. Not in the others. It’s the hardest movie cuz he does it all on his own. No modern conveniences. Of course I’m not a man. But I was raised to admire men who followed the “Code of the West”. You don’t have to be a cowboy to believe in its rules. Just be raised on westerns. You can tell the differences in different types men. I learned to see the world through the influence of men like John Wayne and Hugh O’Brian when I was growing up. The values and traditions of western films stays in your memories waiting for those moments in your own life when you have something important to say or do. You don’t forget them or their memorable moments. John Wayne showed that age doesn’t matter when it comes to believing in your own values and doing what you believe in. Hugh O’Brian was so good at his six year portrayal in the 1950’s and early 1960’s that he was respected as that great lawman Wyatt Earp his whole life. You tube has been a big help reminding this country of its memorable actors like Sam Elliot.

Sam Elliott's characterization of Major General John Buford in the film _Gettysburg_ was as masterfully crucial to the quality of that film as Buford's role was to the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg. Buford's skillful deployment of his cavalry delayed the Confederate advance enough to let the Union army take the high ground. Buford could see it all, and Elliott absolutely nailed that visionary role in his performance. It was brilliant.

Sam's most ICONIC role is being "SAM ELLIOT"!! Besides the movies!! Loved his role in Ghost Rider!!

Sam Elliot is one of my favorite movie performers. He has so much talent.

I loved him in his version of The Quick and The Dead with Kate Capshaw and Tom Conti. My favorite saying was I work hard every day at staying Alive.

For me its Tombstone..have watched it a dozen times and can't get enough..he fits best in cowboy roles and his voice its awesome..mind you that moustache looks great on him🧡🧡

My two favorite roles for Sam Elliott are Tombstone and Shadow Riders. I kinda liked Road House also, .

"Conagher" and General John Buford in "Gettysburg" are Sam Elliott's most wonderful and memorable roles. Fine films, but It's the shining courage, decency and rectitude of these characters that Elliott brings to life so naturally, compellingly, and again so memorably. Oscar worthy performances. Wayne and Stewart, legends at portraying such characteristics beautifully, would have approved admiringly.

@jenniferelainewebster2223

Playing John Buford was an incredible honor for Sam Elliott. To play a real man with a hard life and a family torn apart by the Civil War and bring him to life was crucial for the film Gettysburg. Buford would have approved this man to portray him. Mort Kunstler did an oil painting of him as Buford for the book copy of Gettysburg. An extraordinary portrait of an actor playing a general, the portrait hits everyone as iconic for Buford/Elliott. I believe Mr. Elliott owns that portrait, with the graces of Mr. Kunstler. That glare he has when he hopes to spot General Reynolds from the Cupola and the sad, knowing nod and stare he gives General Hancock when he tells him that his BFF "Lo" Armistead is facing him in Pickett's troops breaks my heart. Sam Elliott WAS Major General John Buford - no one could have done it better. Thank you, Sam, from the bottom of my heart.

Everyone always forgets the movie "The Quick and the Dead" (1987). Sam Elliot plays "Con Vallian" who becomes the protector and teacher to a family moving out west. Along with "Conagher" and "The Sacketts" series I hold as his most memorable for me.

I first saw him in a TV mini series ONCE AN EAGLE. He has had many memorable roles, enjoyed him in the L' Amour westerns and the last year of Justified.

He was also famous in The Mask with Cher. I digged him in the awesome show Justified. Definitely Roadhouse would be his most memorable outing. Folks do not turn it off when it is in. Tombstone is a modern day classic western and The Big Lebowski is a modern day cult classic.

I love nearly all his roles! Sometimes overlooked is the Inheritance! It has such a strong cast 😎

"Conagher" is my favorite Elliot film containing ALL the elements that make Westerns a great genre!!

Elliot is third in the all-time Cowboy movie. First is John Wayne, second Clint Eastwood and Elliot has to be third. And his voice! Best voice I have ever heard! I like the movie Conagher. He plays a real cowboy with his wife and his love interest. And the Quick and the Dead as Mr. McKinley below lists.

Yup! "The Sacketts" Hands down. Even after all these years it's still one of my favorite movies.

Sam Elliott has always been one of my favorite actors whether in a supporting role or lead role but to me roadhouse was his best because even though roadhouse was not a high budget blockbuster movie it was a cult favorite and will always be 1 of my most favorite movies especially because he and Patrick Swayze were both perfect in their respective roles.

"Lifeguard" was a good, non western Elliot movie. "The Challenge" from 1970 was a rare Elliot bad guy role. "Conagher" adapted from a beautifully written Louis L'Amour western where he played a cowboy opposite his real life wife Katherine Ross. All worth seeing and all hard to find. Elliot's voice made his career. Tom Selleck is a bigger, handsomer man who also sports a great 'stache', but Selleck was cursed with Beaver Cleaver's voice. The voice makes the star and keeps them a star long after they're past their prime. Alan Ladd would never have had a career without his radio quality voice. In my opinion, the only actor who's ever had a voice as good as Elliot's was Robert Mitchum. Mitchum also did voice over work for ads on TV. I remember him on beef commercials saying, "Beef. It's what's for dinner." Made me want to go out and have a steak. If hard liquor was permitted to be advertised on TV, Elliot would be great for bourbon commercials. He sounds like a bourbon man.

Sam Elliott on of my favorite Actor's and that deep voice Gets me every time.

Our favorites are:Conagher, The Sacketts, The Quick and the Dead, Shadow Riders and any other Lois Lamour movie he made.

Sam Elliot is a classic, no one can ever replace his laconic style. The sincerity of his characters, even in “The Big Lebowski”!

Thanks for watching!

Hell, his mustache alone should win a Best Supporting Oscar!

You wanted his best, I say Conagher!

My wife and I like Sam Elliot a lot. She likes his roll in Road House but I remember him most from The Great Lebowski. His mustache is number one.

Bill Tillman is a great staring roll for Ol Sam

I first noticed him in Mask, been in love ever since.

yes, I always thought he and Cher had great chemistry

Clint Eastwood kept westerns alive in the 1970s , for whatever reason, sam also would have been perfect to make more westerns but it did not happen, now Kevin Costner was the last western film maker. I would love to see more like open range, which was so well done. Great story and solid performance. 3 10 to Yuma is a perfect example of both good and bad, the 1957 original is great , the remake dosen't come close. I miss westerns.

You should watch him in 1883! It's wonderful!

I first noticed him in the mini-series “Once An Eagle” in the late 1970’s, have like pretty much all of his stuff ever since!

" If you gotta have help, best not start out at all. You oughta pay what you owe. Anybody who'll kill a man when he can do otherwise is a damn fool. You take a man's pay, you ride for the brand. I dont know any other way." Lines from one of the most admirable characters ever created, spoken just right by a great actor. The way says the lines you gotta believe he means them.

Jimmy Stewart was a general in the Air Force.
