Movies
I watched the excellent 2003 movie Open Range a few days ago. This was filmed almost in my back yard and had actors I respect and admire. Even though America is associated with this genre of movie, the actors come from many countries (just like many of the cowboys did back then). Here are my personal Top 10 Western Movie Actors and please comment about your own favorites. Some of the names may not be familiar to you but you would recognize their faces if I could show you it in the survey. I guess you can Google it to remind you.
