the REAL classic Western character actors poll

I've read that a possible reason for WB winning three Oscars is that he rose from the ranks of extras, and so many of the Academy voters were extras who were happy to vote for "one of their own"

yes, he said he was embarrassed by how he won them.

Shakey, at least see To Have and Have Not, My Darling Clementine, Rio Bravo and Support Your Local Sheriff!

I'm sure I've seen Rio Bravo on tv but don't remember much about it apart from Dean Martin's singing scene(s) lol

the others are on my (admittedly long) list

Brennan does RB sans teeth

Annoyed that I missed this poll. My dad was roommates with R.G. Armstrong in college and I absolutely would have tossed Armstrong a vote.

Most recently saw him in Stay Hungry, one of his juiciest roles! Just about steals the film.

Omg Brennan in Rio Bravo

Realizing singing dean martin scenes i ref’d upthread must have been some other movie...?

Doesn’t he sing “My Rifle, My Pony and Me” with Ricky Nelson in that one?

yep

it is the second best musical moment in movies

Ah turns out that was the scene i remembered, just occurred later in the film

Can't believe nobody voted for Jack Elam.

I don't know why I didn't! I don't remember who I voted for actually

Can’t remember who I voted for either, don’t think I mentioned it upthread, but as of late I’ve become a Hank Worden stan.

Well i can tell you you didnt vote for him

Of course. This has been after the poll closed

Among other things he looks like a friend of mine who is a projectionist
