I'll take Doc Holiday. I just love the way Val Kilmer portrays him in Tombstone.

I agree - a classic movie figure. It's hard to watch Dennis Quaid in Wyatt Earp after seeing Kilmer play the role.

Kirk Doublas played a good Doc Holliday in the old Gunfight at the OK Corral.

There is just to many

All the characters from Rio Bravo

All the characters from Open Range

All the characters from the Good, Bad, Ugly

Chuck Conners from the Rifleman

Val Kilmer and Powers Boothe from Tombstone

Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris in Appaloosa

Sam Elliot in every Western he has ever been in.

Clint Eastwood in every Western he has ever been in.

I cannot decide.

I find this indecisiveness frustrating.

Lots to choose from, as I tend to like hardcore western type roles....but it comes down to one for me:

You'd be William Munny out of Missouri, killer of women and children.

Val Kilmer as Doc is definitely up there.

The Riffleman for a TV show.

I know The Alamo (the original) may not be the most historically factual version, but it is far and away the best movie of the bunch, and one of my favorite movies of all time.

There was a lot more truth in this movie than others made. It showed the flaws of these men. And the death of Crockett after the battle came from a Mexican soldier who witnessed it.

Like I said, the original movie may not have been as historically accurate ..........

I just think it was the best movie of the bunch

There is not just one. There are actually two. I hate to do this because John Wayne is one of my all time hero's but, I have to be honest, the best two, IMO, are Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call.
