Jack Elam, famous villain of western films. Charles Bronson, all around tough guy, famous for many roles... including my favorite,"Once Upon A Time in the West"... a masterwork that is taught in film schools. Elam had a bit part in the classic opening gun fight of Once Upon A Time in the West.... unfortunately, Bronson killed him and 2 other baddies waiting for him to arrive at the train station. I just love Bronson's classic line, when asked the baddies said they brought only 3 horses, and Bronson calmly tells them they brought 2 too many!!

I grew up in the 1940s watching old wester movies on a new fangled thing called television. We had the only one in our neighborhood. They played old westerns from 1932-1940. Hoot Gipson, Kermit Maynard, (Kermit was a better horseman than Ben Johnson (my father shared that name) and his brother Ken Maynard. But most of all Glenn Strange the eternal bad man who stood 6’4” tall.

William S Hart, William Boyd (aka Hopalong Cassidy), Hoot Gibson, Johnny Mack Brown, Bob Steele, Buck Jones, Alan Ladd (Shane).

Why do they always say of Audie Murphy nowadays, "He was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II"? He wasn't "one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II." He wasn't even "merely" the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II.

Glad to see so much love for Jack Elam, who so brilliantly ripened from villainy to comedy (epitomized by his roles in Garner's two "Support Your..." movies). Terence Hill and Bud Spencer did almost as much for the Spaghetti Western chunk of the industry as Eastwood. Lee Van Cleef became an icon for his work on both sides of the Atlantic. Sam Elliot's voice and mustache should be enough to qualify him, even if he hadn't also been a fine and prolific actor to boot.

Thank you for your review of these great actors in Westerns (because most had terrific roles outside this genre too)! Henry Fonda: You left out one of his most powerful performances, Once Upon a Time in the West -- unusual for Fonda in that he played the villain. He was also great in some lesser-known Westerns, such as A Big Hand for the Little Lady (one of my favorites), and The Tin Star. James Stewart: you highlighted films in his later Western career, but there was a terrific one from 1939 called Destry Rides Again. Gary Cooper: you mentioned several Westerns, but left out his most iconic one, High Noon.

I watched with great interest; always, since a young boy, enjoying "cowboy films." I thought very much of seven-or eight- of the actors you tell of. I liked John Wayne much more after the late '60's and onward. Rio Bravo, El Dorado with Mitchum, True Grit, The Shootist are exceptionally fine films I believe...esp. "Shootist." I never, at 80 years old now, could see where some actors got such high acclaim...such as Gary Cooper or Steve McQueen. I never (perhaps) understood "acting",) but being an avid reader of many well written books, a good number of western authors as Louis L'Amour, Luke Short, etc, "The Sacketts," with the great Glenn Ford and Gilbert Roland...Oh! Sam Elliot also, they are the real, the best, maybe true westerns. I am rambling too much but the routine westerns, shooting people, shooting guns out of others hand, shooting 50 cent pieces high up in the air, 20 minute bar fights, all the usually made up foolishness-B.S. (I do think Lancaster's gun was understandable in "Lawman," and maybe Eastwoods "Unforgiven" also. Thanks for a fine, fine review though. It's done very well, brief but thorough. I liked the presentation you made.

I would disagree. Henry Fonda in Warlock, along with Anthony Quinn and Richard Widmark.

@@billyanthony88 "I would disagree. Henry Fonda in Warlock, along with Anthony Quinn and Richard Widmark." Yes! Warlock is a masterpiece, in large part thanks to Quinn and Fonda's brilliant performances. Widmark is excellent, too, but it's Quinn and Fonda's show. At the end, Fonda had a very distinctive way of flinging his fancy pistols into the sand, and the camera left no doubt he was doing that himself. Quinn, in particular, took a big risk playing a role of that kind during the 1950s. And the picture did fail at the box office.

Once upon a time is not really a western but a movie about the western as it includes most of its ingredients... Fonda's best westerns are My Darling Clementine (number 1 by far!) Ox-Bow Incident Fort Apache Warlock Tin star The Return of Frank James The Rounders Firecreek Cheyenne Social Club Once Upon a time in the west

Incredible Shrinking Man. Starring Grant Williams was a great movie.

Did the Incredible Shrinking Man get eaten by the family pet at the end of the movie?

@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Nope..just kept getting smaller.

As you show so many in the first 33 seconds I couldn’t think of a reason to watch the remaining 19 mins.

Great music.
