He was in the western Cattle Annie and Little Briches, the kids' western Tell Tale and the modern western Urban Cowboy, as well as Silverado. He's my favourite in the latter too, along with the great Linda Hunt.

Scott Glen certainly looked the part in Silverado as a Clint Eastwood type character. He even looks like David Carradine who played Shane in the TV series.

Scott Glen seems a natural as a cowboy though I think you could argue Man On Fire has a western structure - I guess it's a pity Westerns were out of fashion for so long.

Steve McQueen was a rightie in 'The Getaway'.
Just sayin'

You got me, man.
Never noticed Steve McQueen, though.
Jeremy Renner too, and, (hate to say it), Sly Stallone.

Like other left-handed gun hands such as Bruce Willis, Mark Wahlberg, Steve McQueen and the Sundance Kid himself Robert Redford.

Glenn is terrific in this. I'd never seen him before, when I first saw this movie, and assumed that he was a seasoned Western actor.
I like his emotionless manner and delivery - perfect for the character.
On a side note, I also like that he's a lefty, and all his moves, gun-handling, etc., felt more familiar.

Definitely liked Glenn the most. Him whittling on the gallows is one of my favorite shots in the movie

Glenn did a good job here and I like him as an actor HOWEVER he is not underrated, he's not THAT great of an actor. He has very limited range. You probably think Henry Winkler should play Hamlet too huh???

I'm not sure what you mean by "more realistic character".

Scott Glenn was by far the most realistic character. Plus he's just a great actor (under-rated too) period. Kline was good as was Brian Dennehy. Both seemed comfortable in their roles and didn't ham up their acting.

I liked something about each of the four characters, however, Emmett is my favorite too. I liked his loyalty to his family and friends and his quiet side.

He was my favourite too.

I agree Emmet, is one of my all time favorite western movie characters.
