[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1651673, member: 14585"] One thing that many Western movies often get wrong is casting. The pioneers were vibrant young men and women in their 20s and a grizzled 'old' veteran would be maybe in their late 30s. ie General George Armstrong Custer was 36 yrs old when he died. Davy Crockett veteran frontiersman, soldier, statesman/politician, 49. Jesse James 34. Johnny Ringo 32 Jim Bowie 39 Morgan Earp 30 Lt Colonel Wm "Buck" Travis age 26 when he died at the Alamo Maybe directors/producers think actors in their 20s look too much like kids to be believable, but it would be more accurate than casting middle aged actors.
