Quote from Russ Brown

It would be so cool if someone made a video of Gregg and Ethan being reunited, that must have been a scary scene for such a young man to be in.

Thanks, now included
Gregg Palmer- 2 (Actor)

Thanks for posting this Russ. Gregg must have slipped through the net, as big as he is!! I'll add him asap

With the addition of

Looks like William Bryant could be added for McQ and Chisum...

Thanks for this one, I have added him to the list and will
appear soon.

Quote from alamo221

yeah, I thought those were all Batjac productions-they all seemed to be, but I hadn't checked.

It is so difficult, as many more feel like Batjac Productions,
I have had to double check many times before
committing to posting!

Constantly updating this list.
Including adding two more,
Actors/ Stuntmen

Thomas Hennesy
Bob Morgan

Quote from alamo221

Donner was in El Dorado, Chisum, and I think Rio Lobo, Mike Henry Green Berets and Rio Lobo, Collier was in War Wagon, and The Undefeated-

Thanks so much for your input on this,
as it serves to make the list as definitive and accurate as possible.

However only The War Wagon, Chisum and The Green Berets,
were Batjac Productions,
so all three only appeared in 1 each!
El Dorado and The Undefeated,as far as we know,
were not part of Duke's Batjac.

Robert Donner was in Chisum and Rio Lobo.
The problem being that Rio Lobo
doesn't appear to be credited to Batjac, although
the IMDb data base claims Batjac Productions (uncredited)

As Rio Lobo, was Produced and Directed by Howard Hawks,
are we to assume therefore that Hawks had complete control,
although we know Duke bullied him a little!!
There are also other parties credited with involvement
such as Malabar and Cinema Center Films .

Unless something else confirms otherwise,
we cannot therefore assume that Duke, was in control of
the cast and crew of that film

Mike Henry was in The Green Berets, and Rio Lobo, and the above applies.

Mike Henry was in The War Wagon

Quote from alamo221

A few more: Ed Faulkner, Tom Hennessy, Rudy Robbins, Mike Henry, Robert Donner, and Don Collier

Thanks for mentioning
Ed Faulkner, Rudy Robbins and Tom Hennesy
and I have now included them.

However
Mike Henry, Robert Donner, and Don Collier
didn't meet the criteria making, I believe only 1 movie
each for Duke's productions

Quote from The Tennesseean

Just a note...Aissa appeared in The Alamo, The Commancheros, Donovan's Reef, and McLintock!

She should have a 4 by her name!

Aissa did appear in 4 movies with her father
but only The Alamo, and McLintock!
were his productions, which is the criteria used for this list.

Quote

Would like your feedback on this,
as my own thoughts would be to
consider all actors/stuntmen/ crew, used since
Duke formed John Wayne Productions/ Wayne-Fellows,
and ultimately Batjac.

Therefore the movies made by those companies,
as in these productions, Duke had ultimate control
as to the cast lists and crew etc.

Quote from Hawkswill

Thanks for your work, Keith.

Seems to me that anyone who was in Pappy's Troup should remain "his". Perhaps, when mentioning, JWST, you could make it an addendum to Pappy's. Or, if that isn't to yall's liking, Maybe you could list all of Duke's but with an asterisk or something that denotes they were originally part of the JFST. Also, I think that the ones Pappy directed should remain on his original list whether Batjac was involved or not. Duke got quite a few of his own after Pappy was no longer there. But Pappy developed the whole idea, and to me, he should receive full credit for the ones he directed. Just "feels" right to me.

KEITH

Thank you, for your input.
I have indeed kept the two lists separate,
as although Duke used many of the JFSC
He also, after John Ford's passing,
added his own favourites.

Quote from Gorch

I'm not quite sure how the composers are selected for any given film, but I imagine that the producer has a say - it's his money. If so, maybe we should consider Elmer Bernstein and Dimitri Tiomkin as part of the stock company. Duke used them both several times.

We deal in lead, friend.

Bill, I thought about including them,
and now that you have mentioned them, I have,
Thanks

Quote from alamo221

and, hate to say it, but Big John Hamilton....

Well spotted, I looked at him,
but thought he'd only made one,
but ha, he made two!

Quote from alamo221

Great-thanks-I think John Agar and Jim Davis could be added to the list.

Thanks for these, they have now been added.

It's hard to spot them all on initial viewing of the casts,
so it's good to have extra eyes looking in!!

Thanks for your input.
Anymore to add let us know.

Quote from Big Jim

Thank you Keith for this updating of John Ford's list and how many films and TV shows each were in. Have you done one for John Wayne's Stock Co. or are you planning to? You Ford list is awesome, thanks again - Jim

Quote from alamo221

Do we have a thread for the "John Wayne Stock Company"? Since Duke used many friends over and over, it could make an interesting list.

Thanks both for mentioning this.
It is something I was considering after
completing the JFSC.
You have also probably noticed that the term
John Wayne Stock Company,
seems to be more regularly used.

Would like your feedback on this,
as my own thoughts would be to
consider all actors/stuntmen/ crew, used since
Duke formed John Wayne Productions/ Wayne-Fellows,
and ultimately Batjac.

Therefore the movies made by those companies,
as in these productions, Duke had ultimate control
as to the cast lists and crew etc.
