Your fantasy movie cast

[maarty]

Imagine for a moment you are a casting director given the task of casting a blockbuster western.

Forget details like actors being dead and name the cast you'd choose.

Mine:
John Wayne
Sam Elliot
Tom Selleck
Robert Duvall
Kevin Costner
Viggo Mortenson
Clint Eastwood
Tom Berrenger


Now that line up would be a hit.

[Major 2]

You pretty much nailed it.....

Maybe add Steve McQueen , Paul Newman,  Lee Marvin

I'd support them ( yours and mine ) with

Dub Taylor
Ward Bond
Arthur Hunnicutt
Strother Martin
Ben Johnson
Ken Curtis
and Doby (Harry Carry Jr.) His old man and name sake was not bad either.

I just watched The Missing again and realised I left Tommy Lee Jones off my list.

[Drayton Calhoun]

You could toss in Henry Fonda, James Stewart and Charles Bronson.

[River City John]

Slim Pickens
Buck Taylor
Lee Van Cleef
Jack Elam

[Forty Rod]

I like the idea of a cast of sidekicks and character actors:

Wes Studi
Graham Greene
Dan George
Richard Farnsworth
Arthur Hunnicut
Jack Elam
Paul Fix
Bruce Dern
James Coburn
Walter Brennan
A. Rodriguez
Dub Taylor
Donald Pleasance
Leo Carrillo
George "Gabby" Hayes
Slim Pickets
Ken Curtis
Ben Johnson
Chill Wlls
Charles Bronson
Lee Van Cleef
etc.

[Old Doc]

From The Wild Bunch, I would add

Bo Hopkins
Ernest Borgnine
Warren Oates            and from The Professionals

Lee Marvin
Burt Lancaster
Woody Strode
