His best acting performance is in Wolfgang Petersen's In the Line of Fire - I think he should've gotten an Oscar nom for that.
Josey Wales for the win on that one. "You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?"

As for Wayne, he's certainly not everyone's cup of tea. Have you seen The Searchers or Red River? Rio Bravo?
