My vote would go to The Duke, John Wayne, but I'm sure other people would also consider Clint Eastwood as a big contender here. In my humble opinion, both actors have made significant contributions to the Western genre and have become synonymous with the cowboy archetype.
Clint Eastwood gained fame for his roles in Spaghetti Westerns before becoming a successful director.
Other cowboys such as Slim Whitaker, Hank Worden, and Ben Johnson parlayed the skills they learned while working for ranchers or rodeos into motion picture work as stuntmen, advisers, and doubles for stars like John Wayne. Many succeeded with their own acting careers.
The owner of 26 Bar Ranch, Wayne himself was a tried-and-true cowboy, with an allegiance to and an affinity for Western culture in all its forms. He brought this authenticity to a range of beloved characters — the roles that Wayne portrayed as an actor, he understood in real life.
