The voice is unmistakable. To converse with Sam Elliott is to be pulled in by his deep baritone delivery. He speaks softly, with a tendency to drop in a casual "yup" or "nope" that recalls iconic cowboys—hat brims pulled low over their eyes—from the golden age of film. Much like a John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or Jimmy Stewart, Sam Elliott sounds like a man from a bygone era of Hollywood. But Elliott is more than just a voice, of course. The 72-year-old actor, whose career spans a remarkable 50 years, has forged an on-screen persona as a cantankerous yet wise cowboy. Think: Virgil Earp (Tombstone), Wild Bill Hickok (Buffalo Girls) or Sam Houston (Gone to Texas). Even one of his earliest screen incarnations was as Card Player #2 in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It would appear Elliott was destined for the gruff, lone ranger parts. More recently, the lanky, mustachioed star has had a career renaissance, complete with critically-acclaimed supporting roles in two hit original Netflix series—The Ranch and Grace and Frankie—and a major part in next year's highly-anticipated remake of A Star is Born starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. http://www.everythingzoomer.com/sam-elliott-the-hero/?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Zoomer%20Living%20Newsletter%20-%20June%2020%202017&utm_content=&spMailingID=11303903&spUserID=MTQzODQ3MDc1MzI2S0&spJobID=1181752997&spReportId=MTE4MTc1Mjk5NwS2 Oh that voice ...... and did I mention the looks. Take care, Pat

Big City Boy Posts: 38,319 Group: Member Member #79 Joined: September 8, 2005	I think I will re-watch THE UNBEATRABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING, a very long and difficult but probably brilliant movie. I am sure I can watch it for free somehow. Talk about lack of privacy. I found TULOB as a Netlix disc rental and the page said after the movie description: "You indicated that you were not interested in this title on 2/23/2007" I mean, REALLY????
