John Wanye in front of his name.
John Wayne was one of the greatest actors during Hollywood's Golden Age and gained universal recognition for his no-nonsense, tough-guy roles in Western and war films such as True Grit, The Longest Day, and Red River. Born in Winterset, Iowa, Wayne, also known as the Duke, never intended to become an actor, but after an injury lost him his football scholarship at the University of Southern California, he landed a job working as a prop boy for several John Ford productions.
Wayne's role in Reap the WildWind is one of few that has a sinister, dark side and a willingness to break the law for his own personal gain, proving he's more than capable of playing just the dashing hero. The film was released shortly after the United States entered World War II and was a major hit with audiences and the box office. Critics praised Wayne's performance and the film's impressive special effects featured in the underwater scenes.
John Ford's The Long Voyage Home is essentially a modern-day Odyssey, following the crew as they wander the open seas and are soon faced with a series of obstacles that ultimately test their patience, determination, and faith in each other.
Throughout his career, Wayne took on several father-like roles and in The Cowboys he taps into this familiar formula with thoughtful tact as he initiates a group of boys into adulthood, preparing them for the harsh reality of the real world.
