Movies' Characters

[jimv]

That's the best I can do.

What about Longfellow Deeds    MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN
Beau Geste,     BEAU GESTE
Long John Willoughby,    MEET JOHN DOE
Alvin York,    SERGEANT YORK
Melody Jones   ALONG CAME JONES   
Jess Birdwell   FRIENDLY PERSUASION
Link Jones   MAN OF THE WEST

These characters I doi know.

Sorry I didn't put in the pix last time.

5.  Lt. Alan McGregor

5.  Capt. Quincy Wyatt

6.  Wild Bill Hickock--THe Palinsman

7.  Lt. Richard Bogard

8.  Capt. Christopher Holden

9.  Lt. John Harkness

10. Will Kane--High Noon

12.Stretch Willoughby - THE COWBOY AND THE LADY

This is fun having the movie actor and figuring out his movies by the roles he/she plays.

So let's continue with John Wayne.

I know he made a huge amount of movies before he really became a star so I am not even going there, trying to stay with movies I would hope most people have seen and will remember his character. Again, all the movies were very well known and their characters were memorable.

1--Rooster Cogburn  (If you don't know this forget the rest) (Really 2 movies with the same character, but I'm looking for the main one)

2--The Ringo Kid (see #1)

3--Tom Doniphon

4--Lt Col Benjamin Vandervoort

5--John Elder

6--General William Tecumseh Sherman

7--Capt Nathan Brittles

8--Sean Thornton

9--Hondo Lane

10--Ethan Edwards

11--John T Chance

12---Davy Crockett

13--Thomas Dunson

14--Capt Kirby York

15--Robert Marmaduke Hightower

16--Sgt John Stryker

17--Lt Col Kirby Yorke

18--Ricklin

19--John Breen

20--Col Joseph Madden

WOW Bill, way to go.

See what you can do with Jim's Gary Cooper list. We only got about 1/2 of them.

[LennG]

Jim

I kind of figured you would get most of them if Bill hadn't beaten you to it.  So what's left

I think #15 and #19

Robert Marmaduke Hightower

John Breen

Both not Wayne's biggest movies, but both were respectable..

#15 Wayne stars with 2 others and a baby  ( a give-a-way)

#19--Played a frontiersman from a certain state.

So let me throw 3 more out there that were on my list--a bit tougher so I initially left them off

1--Will Anderson

2--Major Dan Kirby

3--Jim Gordon
