The Cowboy Life
Despite a rich and seasoned career in all types of roles, Sam Elliott has been intertwined with the whole Western genre since his early acting days. His stature, looks, and outdoor have all helped mold him into a manly and rough stereotype that many producers were looking for. Sam starred in some Western movies, most notably ‘Tombstone,’ ‘The Quick and the Dead,’ ‘The Hi-Lo Country,’ ‘You Know My Name,’ and ‘The Desperate Trail.’

Years later, in 2007, the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum honored Sam Elliott’s career by inducting the Western actor into their Hall of Great Western Performers.
