“I think the thing off the top of my head might be, ‘It’s about f***ing time,'” says Sam Elliott, in the wake of his first ever Oscar nomination. “Beyond that, it’s really about the work; it’s just about the creative process. It’s great to be recognized for that, that’s really all it’s about.”

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

A 50 year career? Never heard of him.

But you've heard him:

"Beef. It's what's for dinner."

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

So many great things in “Tombstone”. But that hat! I want that hat!

[MayflowerMadam]

Never heard of Sam Elliot? You must be young. (I’m jealous!)

[Liz]

He's married to Katherine Ross (Stepford Wives star).

He played General Ross in 2003’s Hulk. A very under-rated movie. Elliott was perfect in the part.

[Responsibility2nd]

I’ve seen that movie.

Actors (even with Mel Gibson playing the lead) don’t resonate with me. I tend to forget who was in a movie. Instead I focus on the movie itself. The plat and the story.

And THAT was a great movie. Historical and dramatic.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

“Custer was a pu**y. You ain’t.”

[surrey]

He’s also married to Katherine Ross from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They’ve been married a long time.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

"Ladies and gentlemen.....Wade Garrett"

[Responsibility2nd]

Nope. Not young. Old. Old and forgetful.

Now that this thread has listed his roles and accomplishments, I am impressed with Mr. Elliot.

I hope he gets his Oscar.

[rarestia]

He also plays the lead paternal role in the NetFlix show “The Ranch” which skirted controversy last year by writing off the character “Rooster” played by Danny Masterson because of the “Me Too” idiots claiming Masterson was sexually inappropriate with a woman completely unrelated to the show.

That said, he plays every bit a cowboy in “The Ranch” as well and is honestly the only character worth continuing to watch the show after Masterson was written off.

"You must be young."

Very young!

[Oratam]

In other words, the folk who made The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot got Sam cheap!

[gcparent]

Katharine was in The Graduate.

[wardaddy]

You’re crazy rhetorically

Sam Elliot’s acting is a national treasure

Where’s Borges?

He’s our resident Ebert

Ask him.

[Liz]

Stepford was a great movie........and I dont like Dustin Hoffman.

[dfwgator]

Whenever I hear him, makes me want to go and eat a great big steak.

[nikos1121]

Is the movie good?

[Salamander]

I volunteer to inspect his mustache!
