I know many of you won’t know who Jack Elam is. You’ll know his face, and maybe his voice. I’ll leave it to you to go to IMDB if you choose.

I love Jack Elam. If you’ve ever seen my dad, you might know why. I think it boils down to the eyebrows, but for some reason, I’ve always thought they resembled each other. Jack played the lovable rogue in several films that I enjoyed. He had an “off” look to him whereby he often looked disheveled or even crazed. He is known more for the gazillion Westerns he acted in, but my favorite role was the doctor in The Cannonball Run.

…and now I go to be sad…
