The story got the name of a movie wrong. It's The Ballad of Cable Hogue, not "battle."

He's one of those actors who I'll see and go, "Oh, yeah, THAT guy," but I can't remember his name.

L.Q. Jones, Actor in Sam Peckinpah Classics and Director of ‘A Boy and His Dog,’ Dies at 94

A post-apocalyptic black comedy, “A Boy and His Dog” follows a teenager and his telepathic dog as they fight for survival in the southwestern U.S. of 2024, a time when nuclear fallout grips the world.

Damn, he read the future, too. Now I gotta find me one of them dogs.

I liked him in Casino.

RIP

One of the old time character actors. Guys like him and Strother Martin, Harry Carey, Slim Pickins, Chill Wills, Walter Brennan. Those guys were fixtures in the Westerns.

Rest.

 

[Bubbler]

Thought he died a few years ago.

Excellent character actor. Peckinpah's troupe of go-to actors were all great.

RIP.

"Survived by his favorite daughter."

Have to wonder how many daughters he had that just weren't his favorite.
