Actor: Sam Elliott

Sam Elliott has one of the most recognisable voices in American film and has spent fifty years playing cowboys, veterans and men who deliver hard truths in a low register.

The Big Lebowski gives him the Stranger, who narrates and then admits he does not know what the narration is about. Tombstone and Road House fill out the genre work, and A Star Is Born brought a Best Supporting Actor nomination at seventy-four for a single sustained close-up in a truck.
