Vin Diesel. Definitely a shoe-in for the bad guy.

Outside of James Edgar, whom I can't identify, I'm good with the others. Were you thinking of Edgar Buchanan? Just askin'.

No offense, but I can't see Vin Diesel in a western, and can't think of one he's been in.

Time he got started, then. I think he'd make a great 'bad guy', something on the lines of 'Angel Eyes' in 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly'. I just know he'd totally nail it.

I see your point as him becoming the reincarnation of Lee Van Cleef.
I just realized Clint Eastwood was left off the list...that constitutes a sacrilege.

Don, could you be referring to John Agar? He played Lt. Clint Cohill in that movie, I'm pretty sure...and, was married to Shirley Temple.

I can go with Bronson...loved him in, I believe, 'Once Upon A Time In The West,' with Henry Fonda as the bad guy.

It was not my list, but one I found in doing research. That is why I suggested we added some of our own
