I think that was actually Karl Urban - I re-watched Comanche Moon a couple weeks ago when I was laid up sick. He and Steve Zahn, who played Gus, did pretty well copying the mannerisms of the original Gus and Woodrow (Duvall and Jones), but it just wasn't the same for me.
Yahoody, I never got the sense of Woodrow being "mean", just a very serious and terse man. But I read the book before seeing the movie. The older I get, and the more I work with the younger generations, the more I favor Woodrow's character over Gus. On a side note, it's good to see you posting again!
Thank you Sir! It is a good place I shouldn't ignore.
Hard not to like Gus. But it was Woodrow in my mind that did the heavy lifting between the two. Great charter studies I think in both men's acting. Much to admire in both of them just as there is much I didn't admire in both characters. Kinda like real life I venture to say at different times in my life I could mimic either one of them. These days? Never liked Gus' hat. So been a long time Call, likely even more terse by some tellings.
