Yesterday, mustachioed cowboy-man, and actor, Sam Elliott received his first ever Oscar nomination for his supporting turn in “A Star is Born.” However, it’s his reaction to the nomination that I need to point out, feelings which I share about his finally being recognized, “It’s about fucking time” Elliot told Deadline.
The deep-voiced Elliott, with his iconic handlebar mustache, has been largely associated with westerns over his 4 decade career, with maybe his most famous role as Virgil Earp in 1993’s “Tombstone.” However, his most underrated performance must be in 1976’s “The Lifeguard” in which he played a thirtyish lifeguard whose glory days as a collegiate star athlete are a thing of the past. Other noteworthy films he’s starred in include his iconic narrating cowboy in “The Big Lebowski,” Cher’s motorcycle-riding lover in “Mask” and bouncer father-figure to Patrick Swayze’s hero in “Road House.”
