What was your favourite true life character,
from the one's Duke portrayed.
Mine has to be Davy Crockett,
followed closely by John Simpson Chisum.

Looks like this is where the list sticks!!
Anymore to add, let us know!
ZS_Maverick,
Good point about The First Rebel,
and I would consider this a worthy addition
to the 'Official' list
arthurarnell,
OK, Arthur, let's have the name of the Centurion,
so that I can verify it with Rome!
Hi Mark,
Thanks, you also got me thinking,
we could also add,
Cancel My Reservation,
as he also plays John Wayne in that one, too
Jim,
I'm not sure about his character in Cast A Giant Shadow
Like you, I would have thought, it was real-life one,
although, I can't verify it.
The missing one I was looking for, was
Consul General Townsend Harris, The Barbarian and the Geisha
Hi gt12pak,
Good point!
But remember in the aforementioned movies ,
he played the characters,
in Hellfighters, he played
Chance Buckman,
who was modeled on Red Adair
