Sam Elliott – 1944

Sam Elliott has been quite well-known for his acting skills. He has been noted for his deep voice, lanky physique, and full mustache. This made him perfect for a lot of cowboy roles over the years. This is exemplified in The Way West, Murder in Texas, The Quick and the Dead, and Gunsmoke. Aside from his Western roles, he played much more dramatic roles in other genres, with acting credits in films such as Lifeguard, Buffalo Girls, and Gettysburg.

Elliott has not been shy at more comedic and light-hearted roles, even with his dramatic roles. His performances in The Hero, The Good Dinosaur, and a cameo in Parks and Recreation are good examples. Even at age 77, Elliott has still maintained his edge in acting.
