Those who take Western films seriously hold great supporting actors, such as Jack Elam, Strother Martin and Ernest Borgnine, in the highest esteem. They didn’t win Oscars (excepting Borgnine, for a non-Western role), but they never worried about finding work. They may not have gotten the public recognition of the “big stars,” but their peers and employers admired them.
