"MALIBU, Calif. — Not too long ago, the actor Sam Elliott (http://movies.nytimes.com/person/21648/Sam-Elliott?inline=nyt-per), who has spent much of his 46-year career alternately fighting and embracing habitual typecasting as America’s cowboy, was referred to as a “male ingénue.”
At 71, Mr. Elliott is not young, and anyone who’s witnessed the knowing gleam in his peepers wouldn’t for a second peg him as innocent. But with lauded performances this year in three indie films and guest spots in two acclaimed television series, Mr. Elliott is definitely having a moment."

I've always liked Sam Elliot. He's a great actor and his delivery is perfect. His mustache deserves an Oscar just on it's own merits.


Steven Seagal... not so much. I've never liked him. Had to lmao when I read the story about Seagal getting funding from the Mafia to make one of his movies... and then went crying to the Feds for protection when things went sideways. :laugh:

Every time I read or hear about Elliot I always think about NCIS, and always think he was Mike Franks on that show, for whatever reason. Maybe the raspy voice. But it wasn't him. :)

Always liked him as an actor. He was in the movies(made for tv) ...

oops, no.
I thought this was the post full movie thread. my mistakes I'll post it up over there.

Sam Elliot's a cool actor though.
Tombstone and the Big Laboski stand out for me. and always recognize his voice over in commercials.

Back when I did it it paid cash( usually equal to couple days pay for a few hours work, 5 or 6 hours), free beer and of course added was the girls. They were not part of the payment but came along with the job since many of them liked the wild and tough guys.
Besides when I was young it was great fun.. these days more fun to not do a job like that, older and wiser.
My nephew Micheal did it Memphis , for a couple years back in the early 90's, pay was still cash and quite good.
He certainly had it easier than I did .. I worked some really tough dives. Mostly because I had a , "don't give a damn attitude" back then.-Tyr

I worked in a damned biker bar the Outlaws loved to frequent.

It's not worth it now. They got more liability laws on bouncers nowadays than they have on cops.

All your medical bills were on you. Nobody paid for any of your injuries. Best not to get injured as that vastly increased ones profit.. I got injured and sewed up a few times but always by getting hit blindsided by the second guy. Hell, only worried about scars on my face(three) never anywhere else. Had top of the head stitches 5 times, no biggie to me as my hair covered them up.. Ladies tend to like a handsome face.;)
Actually small number when compared to the number of fights I was in, sometimes months later at a bar not even the club where I work. Guys I didnt even know tagging me from out of the blue because I had busted up their brother, uncle , friend, nephew , etc.
That shit got old really quick by the time I hit 35 and had my daughter. I stopped at that age but did it free for 7 more years and at my good friend's bar. He was too old(59/66) and needed the help. I hung in there gambling and as his friend I volunteered. He died 7th year from cancer, wife sold the bar. I stopped volunteering.
Would never do that over again..... money was great but wasn't really worth it..-Tyr

Yeah. I got a nice 6 inch scar under my right eye from a poolstick.

It wasn't only that. We had no cell phones, blue tooths nor headsets. You held your own until the word finally got to someone else in the crew you were in trouble. And I get the whole tagged out of the blue thing.

I wouldn't do it now either unless I couldn't afford chow. I was young, dumb, full of cum and a monster back then. Getting old sucks. So does growing up. The former happens, like it or not. The latter, not so much.

First lesson I learned in Okinawan te was the best way to stay out of a bar fight is not go to the bar, and if I wanted to go hang out in bars, get out of sensei's dojo. Being gai gin didn't start me off on the popular list to begin with. :laugh:

(Those were the days my friend)

Bet you got more hair than me.:laugh:

This topic can go lots of places. I'm a left handed fighter and I made the cardinal sin of ducking down right with a right handed batter at the stick. I should have spun to my left instead. Never saw it coming and neither did he. Hit ME in the head with a poolstick so hard you break it and you don't knock me out, evil is your next word. And I don't even remember it.

What I DO remember is that was the last time I actually lost my temper. What I DO remember is that was a 6 on 2 fight and we won. I woke up in my car with my face busted half open. I spent 2 days in the hospital. They spent 2 weeks. Lesson learned: I hate jail. Bad as being on float.

Not to sidetrack, but one thing I learned about the internet is so many people talk shit on it no one believes anyone. You can sit here and tell war stories all day and the wannabe's in mommie's basement on a PC will talk all kinds of crap. Electronics to us old guys was a phone on the kitchen wall, and if we had a 12 ft cord we were in Heaven. That meant I could lay on the floor with my feet against the wall and chitty chat for awhile.

Pushing MY button is the last thing anyone with a right mind wants to do. So if any of you want to explain to the sperm donor that 's my GF's daughter's ex BF friend about tugging on Superman's cape, now would be the time. That RPG idiot thinks he'll be reconstituted. Not when I'm done. Unless reconstituting dust is a new scientific method.

And yes, I'm mad. You can usually tell that when most of the staff here quits talking to me.
