My number one is definitely Eastwood. John Wayne ranks about 50th.
You must be black, jewish and a democrat
For the Wayne haters, obviously you haven't truly seen his acting role in the Searchers. That in my opinion was his best. I also like Joel McRea and of course Sam Elliott and Lancaster DID make some great westerns, but like Randolph Scott (both were gaggers incidentally), that NE yankee accent, kinda was out of place.
And speaking of jewish democrats, the best Meskin' Bandido ever? Eli Wallach!
