excellent character actor, seen him in any number of roles
Back in the 90s, I think it was, I discovered that the book and movie lonesome dove was based in part on the movie bandolero, and the script for bandolero was written by james lee barrettNow, there are some great similarities between the characters and plot of bandolero and lonesome dove (there are a number of similarities); also the movie cheyenne social club was also written by james lee barret, and the two primary actors in that movie are also quite similar to the two main characters in lonesome dove.
Based on this information, I assumed james lee barrett was a pseudonym for larry mcmurtry, the author of lonesome dove. Then I saw a movie where james lee barrett acted. Not mcmurtry.
But before I was able to verify that mcmurtry was not barrett, I had informed imdb that the two were the same. Well, that was a mistake. I had posted this on a usenet groupforget the name that mr beaver also posted on. So he chewed me out for telling imbd that mcmurtry was barrett.
Hey, everyone makes a mistake.
Anyway, mcmurtry has been confronted about the connection between bandolero and lonesome dove, but his explanation (that it was a tribute to the movie) is lacking. Why would 470he write Dove as a tribute to some obscure movie? I suspect that mcmurtry was an uncredited script doctor for those two movies, and barrett got the credit. Happens all the time. IN fact mcmurtry wrote a book called film flam about his experiences in hollywood, but I read it a long time ago before I discovered the connection btw the book and the barrett movies, and I don't remember if there is anything relevant in the book.
There ya go!

Hey JimB-4,
Nice to see someone on here with the cohonas to stand up for himself against fame junkie idiots who think its a laugh answering back to someone they see on tv. Well done Ji5b4m. From one ex serviceman to another. A Supernatural fan.

Who does that?!?!
Probably only someone who is confident enough to deal with the positive and the negative aspects of becoming a famous person.

shelthom: I can get heated, particularly in political topics or when unfair statements are involved. It's a failing. But if you think I'm among the most bellicose on the web, I congratulate you on not encountering the wide variety of truly bellicose people I've run into. Without overblowing my horn, I've got a pretty good reputation as a kind and even-handed fellow, my hundreds of thousands of followers on FB and Twitter would probably attest. Of course, I don't suffer fools gladly. Maybe you encountered me in that fashion.

Not your style? Are you having memory problems? You are one of the most volatile and bellicose human beings I've ever encountered online. I've seen your Facebook page. You could use some "anger management".

Well said sir. Looking forward to seeing you and anything you do, you pop up and shows I watch all the time and I always enjoy your performance. Would love to see you in 'Supernatural' again this season we'll see. But I was just watching 'Lie to Me' (again) and loved you and that episode with Annette O'Toole.

Was wondering 2 things please sir? Any chance of you popping up on Supernatural again? As all true fans know, no one ever dies forever. And, loved you on Mike and Molly, how was that experience?

Without justification, huh? You were in error and I pointed that out. I tend to avoid "chewing people out" for errors, even errors they persist against evidence. You're right, anyone can make a mistake. Anyone can even cling to the mistake for a while and tell people who know better that they are wrong. I doubt I "chewed you out." Not my style. But I fail to see how my pointing out your error was without justification.
Thanks for the compliment, though. It's much appreciated.
