Jack Elam stood out in "Rio Lobo." It's too bad that he didn't get cast in other John Wayne pics (other than "The Comancheros"). He was one of the great character actors. I read somewhere in the dark ages of my past that he originally was an accountant before breaking into pictures. One of his early outings was in "Rawhide," with Tyrone Power and Susan Hayward, where he was a very nasty baddie.
