something to ponder

[Good Troy]

Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, Robert Urich, Diane Lane, Angelica Houston, William Sanderson, Steve Buscemi, Chris Cooper, Ricky Schroder, Barry Corbin, are a few that come to mind!

I seem to remember that cast being in a western already.  It sounds like you already have your ultimate western!

CCG... Lonesome Dove had a great cast! 
It would be hard for me to pick a better cast for a western...maybe we could fit Wes Studi in there somewhere? 

[Coal Creek Griff]

Well, Wes Studi did make it into one of the "sequels" to Lonesome Dove, but I would like to see more with him in it.  I think he's a pretty underrated actor.

Studi put on great performances in Last of the Mahicans, and Dances with Wolves.

Here are some actors that I'd like to see in a western...

Javier Bardem....He's played several roles as a deranged bad guy.  I think he could pass a native, but definitely as a deranged bad guy. He could even play a good older Mexican gentleman.

Mickey Rourke....bad guy for sure!

Tilda Swinton as a Madame or soiled dove.  She has a strange look and way about her that I think would fit in well to this type of character...particular if that character was an antagonist.

Tom Hardy as a rough and tumble cowhand or lawman...one that could get the job done at any cost.

I'm trying to come up with someone that I'd like to see play roles like William Sanderson played in the past...you know, the misfit/outcast.  I'll think of someone eventually.

Ed Harris as Virgil Cole and Viggo Mortensen as Everett Hitch in Appaloosa was pretty good.
