You nailed it. The Ringo Kid in Stagecoach was as tough as they get, but he was a gentleman and very respectful of others, particularly the ladies. He was at peace with himself and with the world. He didn't swagger around spouting vulgarities.

The Ringo Kid didn't have to act like a badass even though with one hand tied behind his back, and without breaking a sweat, the Ringo Kid could whoop any of today's crop of poseurs in a Lordsville minute. Yes, he was driven to avenge his murdered brother, but out of a sense of justice, not revenge.

liked the portrayal of ringo in the movie with val kilmer (sp?)- tombstone i think it was- Very understated, but indefinably portrayed a dangerous man- Doc, played by Val- was also another awesomely portrayed character- didn’t brag didn’t tell and scream and swear- just let his guns and reputation do the talkin-

I liked the following exchange between doc and wyatt- even though it probably wasn’t representative of ringgo’s drive- but it showed that doc understood him in the movie at least, because that’s what kinda drove doc too- again, at least i nthe movie’s plot-

Wyatt Earp : What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?

Doc Holliday : A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.

Wyatt Earp : What does he need?

Doc Holliday : Revenge.

Wyatt Earp : For what?

Doc Holliday : Bein’ born.

Val just nailed his part in this movie-

Tombstone

Ike Clanton : What is that now? Twelve hands in a row? Holliday, son of a bitch, nobody’s that lucky.

Doc Holliday : Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker’s just not your game Ike. I know! Let’s have a spelling contest!

I laughed at this line- the look on Ike’s face after Doc said this was perfect-

All the actors did a great job in this movie-
