Riding & Shooting with Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck & Bruce Willis! Saddle up with Patrick Kilpatrick!

[@henrygonzalez8793]

Another great interview Rob. I certainly agree with what Patrick said about Richard Boone’s performance in Hombre - RB left an indelible impression in that role as a truly bad guy.

[@lsavell01]

I love the bad guys! 😂 Wow! Patrick's behind the scenes stories are awesome! He has the best sense of humor. He's a great actor & a pleasure to watch! Most enjoyable, Rob!

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, LadyP. Patrick was awesome and I am thrilled that RJ was able to create decent audio for what we had lost by using AI. Magic!

[@richb313]

Gotta love how a segment was dedicated to horses before the discussion turned to acting. Patrick has definitely worked with some of the best Tom Selleck, Sam Elliot, Bruce Willis and more even loved the shout out to Alan Rickman one of the best villains in the business. Thanks for these programs which highlight the people and yes some times the horses who have made this all possible. Thanks Rob.

[@azohundred1353]

In Last Man Standing, Bruce Willis and Walter Hill paid homage to Henry Fonda and John Ford with Bruce Willis leaning on a chair on the veranda exactly like Henry did in that iconic shot in My Darling Clementine! Every movie Walter makes is definitely a Western. Patrick Kilpatrick really is a great, underrated actor. He was even in Remo Williams with Fred Ward, an underrated movie as well. Thanks for the interview, Rob!

[@williamsweeney7954]

Reno Williams was a great movie. Never understood why it wasn’t more popular.

[@Tordogor]

Fred Ward was an amzing actor! I usually called him 'The US Lino Ventura', because he master action, comedy and drama. A pity he died too young with so much potential 😔

[@bmuell64]

A great actor that was in so many of my favorite movies. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@hiramnoone]

Among actors, the best villains are not only nearly always the best actors and the most interesting on screen, but ironically the most humorous and nicest people in life. Patrick is certainly another example of that. Articulate, bright, interesting, insightful and funny guy. A most enjoyable interview.

[@johnwilliams4541]

He is a very talented and interesting man to listen to

[@Ronin4614]

Great video and especially the part about how smart the horses are. One of the horses that came to mind was, I believe was named Smokey, the horse Lee Marvin rode in Cat Ballou. The scene near the end of the film with a drunken Lee Marvin sitting on Smokey, both of them leaning against a building and Smokey had his two front legs crossed; what a pose that was. I also believe that Smokey won the Craven Award in 1966 for the excellence in animal acting. This video covers so much ground, from the horses to the best villains; such a grand video, Rob. Thank you.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks. Marvin's horse deserved that award. Patrick certainly was interesting.

[@cindyhamblin5673]

Another great interview, gotta have the bad guys, but when he started talking about the horses, it touched my heart! Ty for sharing this! 🐴

[@AWordonWesterns]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@beerdrinker6452]

Great oral history. Thank you.

[@williamclifford9757]

Last Man Standing is on a very short list of great movies ! Thank for the exposer 0f Patrick Kilpatrick ,

[@beevee4445]

Just watched this last night in Grit. Excellent movie!

[@theavandenberg6876]

Very interesting conversation. Also nice to hear my countryman the late Rutger Hauer being mentioned. He was indeed a fine actor. And yes...sadly he was typecasted

[@joycegausmann5840]

Rob, your show is wonderful, and I look forward always to each episode. In my heart, I have always been a cowboy/ cowgirl 🤠. It's delightful seeing my childhood Western idols and listening to their stories and memories. ❤❤❤

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thank you, joyce. Love hearing from them...and you!

[@jimross7648]

An enjoyable interview. Patrick Kilpatrick is an actor whom I recognize more by his voice than his look. I have seen him as he looked in this interview in films. However in a few of the production stills, I went I remember that character by his look, but had no idea that it was Patrick playing that part. He is like so many of your guests funny and engaging. I hope you can have him back.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, jim. I agree. Today is his birthday, too!

[@forhisglory1778]

It was so sweet that he talked about the horses!

[@wesmcgee1648]

This guy is one of the foremost technical advisors in the world. He knows more about tactical shooting than anyone.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, wes. Patrick has an amazing resume.

[@cornshucker77]

Great interview Rob and as usual................great boots.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, shucker. I got them 20 years ago at Lou Taubert's Western Wear in Cheyenne, WY. They were on special order and took 11 months! It was worth it though. Glad you like them.

[@carolynpillsbury2735]

Another great interview Rob 👏

Wow, that would be a nice surprise, disco. Thanks.

[@michaelgrow8630]

Been. Enjoying BY DAWNS EARLY LIGHT with Creanna and Carradine. A great western.

[@AWordonWesterns]

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that but I recall how good both Crenna and David were. Thanks for the reminder.

[@williambilyeu9801]

Nice interview, Rob. Patrick Kikpatrick looks so different in his roles it's hard to recognize him. I agree with him about horses in relationship to my earlier riding story to you. By the way, "Yojimbo" is based on a 1930s film titled "Red Harvest" which is from the first novel by Dashiell Hammett. The story has been remade so many times. My favorite version is "Miller's Crossing."

[@AceMoonshot]

Yojimbo or Miller's Crossing is a tough call. I think my favorite might be whichever one that I happen to watch last. Which is Miller's Crossing, since I watched it for the umpteenth time last week.

[@US_Joe]

Thanx Rob, another goodie. You really help us appreciate the unsung people in film, including the animals. Have a great week my friend. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@hollywoodmediaprofessional3282]

Another interview with a different slant on the westerns we love to watch. Thank you for your hard work. Glad the audio got fixed.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Our pleasure! Thanks.

[@atreb56]

Thank you so much. I loved Mr. Kilpatrick's tribute to equine actors.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

Chiwawa he sounds like Jessie Ventura great show as always, Rob. Thanks!

[@thedoxinator3934]

Rob, yet again another great interview 👍

[@desertfox3860]

Thanks Rob!

[@wadetaylor1299]

Good talk Rob . Great character actor bad guy . I've not seen in a while what Sam said to him while making the quick and the dead was great . Thanks always Rob

[@OdeeOz]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to youuuu PATRICK KILPATRICK! Born Aug 20th a _few_ decades ago. 👍👍 5⭐ Actor in the least. Also born not terribly far from where I currently live. 1:30 Wasn't that Trigger Junior? Oh how I relish having been allowed to pet that famous horse. Hey Rob, did I ever tell you that Sam Elliott personally checked out his horse, at Marriott Ranch, Virginia, for that Civil War movie... Gettysburg? Or God's & Generals? Unfortunately, my memory of our chat with the stable hands, manager, and Mr. Elliot at the ranch is failing.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Never heard your horse story before, OD. At least you remember meeting him! LOL

[@OdeeOz]

I have to get out your way for a couple of these shows, relatively soon @@AWordonWesterns Do you have a link of times you hold them? 🤠

[@AWordonWesterns]

@@OdeeOz We generally post the dates on our page. The next tape dates for the Autry are: Nov 14, Dec 12, 2023, and Jan 9, 2024. Hope you're able to join us for one...or more!

[@OdeeOz]

We'll see what the doc says, @@AWordonWesterns But I will do my best to get out thar.

[@bobbysnow5478]

Thanks for the video…and rebaking the cake? Oh! Boy! It looks like the cinematic western of the past and the traditional training of actors, personnel, stage animals could not be duplicated today!

[@georgemoore7186]

What a great life it would be as an actor, especially a western Actor, it is like having a childhood that lasts all of your life, playing "make believe" I would have done it for free! life sometimes gets in the way of "living the dream", doesn't it? sometimes you can be lucky and not even know it, if it was me I would be frightened to wake up every morning for fear it was all a dream....but we can live vicariously through listening to a Word On Westerns and we all appreciate that👍👍

[@AWordonWesterns]

Wow. Thank you, George, for your nice comments.

[@georgemoore7186]

@@AWordonWesterns I meant every "WORD" of it(Pun not intended)

[@kaybutcher5719]

Always enjoyed Tom Selleck and Sam Elliott in the Louis Lamour movies.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Me, too, kay. Wish they were still making them.

[@rgyoho]

It would be a tragedy for this interview to be lost.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Aren't you glad it's been restored! Thanks, Bob.

[@waynestevenson9613]

PK just looks like a bad dude! 😎 interview!

Enjoyed again, Rob, Enjoyed, what goes on behind the scenes, learned a lot, about the characters and so forth, thank God for technology and KZbin

[@scottjackson1420]

Mr. Kilpatrick's voice sounds a bit like Jessie "The Body" Ventura. In a good way.

[@rogeramos5810]

A very good interview, glad you got the audio fixed so you could air it.

Us too, roger. Thanks!

there is also the story red harvest byndashiel hammett linked to yojimbo and fistfull of dollars.

💕👍.....miss my appaloosa.....🙋‍♀️🇫🇷

[@AceMoonshot]

I have long known that horses can be great, albeit impatient, actors. But my first "oh wow!" moment about stunt horses came from Lonesome Dove. The behind the scenes when Call charges the Hell Bitch into the horse that the army scout was riding. The army scout's horse just gets slammed into the ground. Then we see the scene from the opposite angle. The Hell Bitch never came close to ramming the stunt horse. Stunt horse just sold that scene.

[@AWordonWesterns]

That's some fantastic work done by the stuntmen and Billy Burton, the coordinator, who had been an AWOW guest (which I know you know, Ace!).

[@mark-shane]

Is this an old video? he talked about Alan Rickman just passed away. and the sound was erratic

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

2017

[@AWordonWesterns]

Yes. Thanks, TERoss. It's explained in the Description for this episode, mark.

[@discernment8963]

The more PC the entertainment Industry gets the more my wallet closes.

[@dalecomer5951]

Rob, couldn't you get Patrick to dub his lines?

[@DougPoulton]

The only thing they can't teach the horse to do is not to look at the camera. It's always amusing to watch them do that.

[@Paladin1873]

AI to the rescue. In a few years you'll be able to recover or conduct an entire interview without need of actor or host.

[@AWordonWesterns]

That's what RJ keeps telling me, Paladin.

[@seymourwrasse3321]

The Magnificent Seven was a western adaption of The Seven Samari, a lot of movies are adaption of a movie from a different genre

You bet, Seymour. Thanks.
