About Sam Elliott

Sam Elliott is an American actor, who is famous for performing characters like ‘General Ross’ in ‘Hulk’ (2003) and ‘Carter Slade’ in ‘Ghost Rider’ (2007). He is also known for playing gun-slinging cowboys in films like ‘The Quick and the Dead’ and ‘Tombstone,’ as well as his role in the cult favorite ‘The Big Lebowski. Well-built, tall, and thanked with rough good-looks, he was often cast as a cowboy and rancher. His deep, thrilly voice and Western drawl added to his charm as the ultimate on-screen American cowboy. Renowned for his passion for acting and devotion towards his profession, Elliot knew from the time he was a child that he was meant to be an actor. He was an obstinate youngster who often got into arguments with his father who opposed his choice of profession.

As a college student, he played one of the leads in stage production and received rave reviews for his performance. Soon, he decided to make it big in Hollywood. He began his acting career from the stage and made his film debut in ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ in 1969. Subsequently, he became a good applicant for Western movies and was periodically cast as a cowboy and rancher. When the popularity of Western films began to decline, he operated on television and settled himself as a successful television actor. Well past his prime, the gallant actor shows no signs of slowing down as he is as effective as ever in films and television.
