How DARE you, sir.
I mean how can you argue that Sean Thornton and JB Books are remotely similar characters? In Harm's Way and Brannigan are quite a bit different. Ethan Edwards vs. Rooster Cogburn. He plays a swede as the lead in a movie that was nominated for Best Picture (The Long Voyage Home). He does comedic roles - quite well actually - in Hatari and McLintock.
As John Ford once said after watching him play a heavy in Red River - "I never knew the big son of a bitch could act..."
I will not stand for this blasphemy.
