For the record Sam Elliott without his moustache is like a moustache without Sam Elliott behind it. Its performance alone in the amazing Roadhouse nearly overshadowed Patrick Swayze's amazing performance as Dalton in the late 80's buddhist-themed modern western. It was also the narrator in the Big Lebowski and went moustache-o-moustache with Ron Swanson's amazing 'stache in a recent Season 6 episode of Parks and Recreation. In a real-life Dirty Dozen situation, it's easy to imagine Elliott punching out a Nazi squadron before waxing his mustache philosophically on the futility of it all around the fire at night. As with most of the actors in this list, Sam Elliott made a career out of cowboys and army characters, from his small beginnings as Card Player #2 in Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid to his role as General Ross in The Hulk (the one that everyone wants to forget) and his appearance as the Stranger in The Big Lebowski, Elliott's moustache has maintained a strong presence in movies for over four decades. More recently the man behind the moustache has started partaking in more voice-over work in NFL football and Dodge Ram Truck commercials in North America, with sadly not one Sam Elliott moustache in sight.
Been there, done that but not too well. Continually financially restrained. Now (and still) lives in Western Canada and talks some hockey and parenting on ogieoglethorpe.blogspot.ca and watching trailers on 2minutemovies.blogspot.ca.
