If he was starting out and played Dying Cowboy number 3 it might not be listed. Politics aside, this type of "research" is not considered proof. The problem with this argument is that FDT did not come up through the ranks of aspiring actors, playing bit parts hoping to get "discovered". His first part was playing himself in "Marie" in 1985 - and his filmography shows every TV or movie appearance since then. No westerns or cowboy roles in the list...

He plays a character named Otis in this western. I have not seen the movie, so I don't know if the character is supposed to by dying. Even if the character is exactly as described by the anti-Fred person, so what?
