Sam Elliot is a true Western cowboy who has portrayed many characters in movies and television.
A couple of really good movies that I remember was Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
He is still a Great Actor and you always know without even seeing who it is (by His Voice.)
He has been in so many movies that I can't recall all of them.
What were your favorites that Sam Elliot played in.

Good for him to know them all, possibly.

He sure had been in some good ones. Katharine Ross and him have been married a long time. He narrates Ford commericals. I hate Ford but love his voice. I know a guy that has a voice just like his and so I love it when he calls me.

@celticeagle they have been married since 1984 I think I knew he did the Ford commericals but had forgotten that.

I don't generally pay any attention to commericals but will have to remember this.

His very first movie, I think, was "Life Guard", no cowboy there, just an LA boy who wants to just be a life guard. He owns a ranch a few miles north of here in Coburg, Oregon.

Not sure if I ever saw Life Guard but I know he is a wonderful actor, I didn't know he lived in Oregon.

Oh I see that is a good idea for him to loan out his property and still maintain it.

@Marcyaz He does not live here, but maintains his property here and loans it out to some of his Malibu neighbors.

I don't recall which movie I've seen him in but I know I have seen at least one with him. I love western movies. So does my pop so sometimes I watch one with him. I know Sam Elliot wasn't in this movie but I watched Paint Your Wagon with my nan and pop and I fell in love with it. Such a good movie.
I know there's more true full on western movies I've seen but I can't think of any. But the western theme / era is one of my favourites!

@VivaLaDani13 I am blissfully ignorant of all these movies and actors you peep are talking about. So, I will sit quiet and wear my sunglasses to hide my ignorance.

Hi now your talking I like Sam Elliot, he's got that real swagger of a cowboy about him, I mean no disrespect but as an actual look and voice he embodies that of a real tough cowboy right up there with Clint Eastwood and John Wayne, maybe even higher.
I loved him in Conagher , tombstone yes and definitely road house but one of the roles I love him in is Ghostrider as the caretaker it just suited him to a tee.
Great post

I remember him by looking at his face, but not and Butch Cassidy. In that movie, I was completly mesmerized by Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

He has had such a long career. I like his westerns. A very good early role was Lifeguard from the 1970s which may surprise his fans.
