Liam Gaughan, at \/Film, came up with his list of The Twenty Best Western Movie Actors<\/a> and it is a good one.\u00a0 As I thought about my choices the top two were easy.\u00a0 The tough part was deciding which order for the top two and who would get the third spot.\u00a0 After some deliberation here are my top three…<\/p>\n

#3.\u00a0 Kurt Russell<\/strong> comes in at the third spot based on two strong lead performances in Tombstone<\/em> and Bone Tomahawk<\/em>.\u00a0 It’s a shame Russell hasn’t made more westerns because the genre suits him.<\/p>\n

#2.\u00a0 Clint Eastwood<\/strong> was my choice for the number two spot and I really considered putting him in at #1.\u00a0 Eastwood’s westerns always score well with fan and critics.\u00a0 The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Josey Wales<\/em> and Unforgiven<\/em> are considered classics.\u00a0 I wouldn’t argue too hard against Eastwood in the number one spot, but this time out I gave it to…<\/p>\n

#1.\u00a0 John Wayne.<\/strong>\u00a0 My first place spot goes to the man that most folks think of first when they think of cowboy movie stars.\u00a0 Wayne’s career spanned 50 years and he made so many popular westerns: Stagecoach, Angel and the Badman, Fort Apache, Red River, Hondo, The Searchers, Rio Bravo, True Grit, The Cowboys<\/em> and The Shootist<\/em> are some of my favorites.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
