    Hi gr1087, Keith.


    1087, Duvall is a good actor and I had forgotten about him. I think he'd probably make good in the role of a Lawman of somekind.


    Keith, Thanks for that. I had completely forgotten about Tyrone Power. He would definately have to be in one of the military scenes and most likely in the War with Mexico scenes.


    I'm sure there are tons more I did not name but thats only because these names above were all I could think of at the moment. :D

  • Who Would Be Your Idea For The Perfect


    Hi Smokey my dear, I did think of having Tom Selleck in the list but, I decided against him in my list because he is too modern of an actor to be with these folks. I am a big Selleck fan and have liked him ever since his Magnun P.I. days. You are correct though, he does make for a VERY good Western star. I had also thought of having Mel Gibson and Tom Hanks as well. :D


    Take care my dear--Carl.

    Hi Mate, your idea sounds good but I would absolutely have to have Lewis Milestone be the director for the War with Mexico & the Civil War battle scenes. :D


    Take care mate--Carl.
