Okay. I looked him up. It turns out that I have not seen a single thing he's been in...except "Rango", where I gather he did the voice of one of the characters. I loved Rango. I have to assume that Mr Oliphant is mostly in movies that don't attract my attention in the first place.

I do know the Raylan Givens character he plays in one of them, though, because I've read most of Elmore Leonard's books. Why? Elmore Leonard is a superb writer. I read very little crime fiction, but I'll read anything if Elmore Leonard wrote it. He's got the gift.

I get how Jimmy Stewart and Tom Hanks are Everyman figures.

I get how John Wayne and Timothy Oliphant star in movies with guns.

But what is your point?

Wayne and Stewart co-starred in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", a rather interesting cowboy movie.
