"There is no one today like him"
======but they keep trying , with everyone from Mr. T.

Woody Strode had the face of a man. Not a pretty boy face like Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio. A face like Charles Bronson's or Humphrey Bogart's or John Huston's that is weathered by struggle.
Did you ever see "Once Upon a Time in the West" ? At the beginning Woody Strode and Jack Elam are among three gunmen sent to wait for Charles Bronson at a train station. No dialogue. Tight facials.
