The Outlaw Josie Wales question - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Penny Lane · 09-01-2007, 11:37 AM

I have never seen this movie but my husband is trying to find out the name of the actor who appears at the end of the movie. Something like this................ He( the character)knows that Josie is alive but says that he is dead? Maybe he is a bounty hunter? Well, my husband says that he is a well known character actor who appeared on tv numerous times in the 70's. I have looked at the cast list but nothing rings a bell. He said that I would definitely know him if I saw him. I thought it might be Royal Dano who is in the cast but he said it's not him. This actor was probably in his mid 30's at the time(1975). Please! This is driving us crazy! Who is the actor?

Is it John Vernon?

^ Yeah, John Vernon played Fletcher, who was hunting Josey Wales and his gang. In the final scene, he decides to let Josey get away.

Vernon is best known as Dean Wormer in "Animal House." and he appeared on dozens of TV shows throughout the 70's and 80's.

Yup! My husband identified him! His face is very familiar but I never knew his name. Thank you so much! Now I can sleep tonight!
