How can any man expect to out play the Duke as Rooster Cogburn?
Jeff Bridges can and will out play the Duke with one eye tied behind his back any day of the week. He will reveal once and for all what a lousy actor JW was all along.
No problem. But my thought stands. John Wayne may not have been a great actor but there was simply something compelling about him that connected. He came across as the kind of man every other man aspires to be leather tough, yet a kind soul, women loved him, and nobody's fool. One of a kind. There are just not enough real men who are like that.
