Sam Elliott is an American actor whose rich, deep voice and rugged screen presence have defined Westerns and character roles for close to six decades. He appeared early in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and made his film debut in The Way West (1967), then moved up to leads with Frogs (1972) and his breakout in Lifeguard (1976).
