One of the best! He was excellent in all roles, but when you seen him in a Western he looked right at home....his look, his voice, his mannerism's. Heck, when you think of Westerns or of a Cowboy you gotta think of L.Q. Jones. Thanks for posting this quality piece.

You are absolute right about the number of "classics" Sam Peckinpah produced considering his total number of movies was small. Thank you for pointing that out to us.

Major Dundee, Ride the High Country, The Wild Bunch, Iron Angel, Apache Rifles, The Naked and the Dead, Casino, The Edge, Mask of Zorro, White Line Fever - this guy has been in some much can't figure out why today's producers and directors aren;t hiring this guy - get LQ back on the big screen now!!!

All I have read/interviews about SP and other associates talking about him I think LQ has nailed it down to the ground. LQ Jones, Srother Martin,Slim Pickins were best friends and worked many movies together. IMO they are the finest of tough genuine actors. Thankfully LQ is still active & working. It is true,SP did have his company of actors on his films who admired and tolerated his mood swings. SP was a brilliant director but was actually diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

LQ Jones is amazing. But given Sam's history it was probably a good thing he didn't try to throttle the man. I think Sam had a better ratio too. Wild Bunch, Pat Garrett, Straw Dogs, Cross of Iron and The Get Away are all classic films and I believe they all ranked in the AFI.

@@RobinSchoutenRS it's a good documentary. I probably watch it twice a year. It's sad he died when he did. I don't know if Sam could've ever been sober. But I like to think he would've got back to making classic films and putting schlock like Convoy behind him. And I'm sure LQ Jones would've had a part. I always get a kick out of his cameo in Casino. For one scene Peckinpah & Scorsese (my favorite directors) worlds collided. I was happy to learn that Jones actually wrote that scene between DeNiro and him, because Scorsese told him he didn't know how to write a western.

Didn’t Slim Pickens appear in Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid I seem to recall a terribly sad but poignant scene between Slim and Nexican Actress Katy Jurado. So I assume Sam forgave Slim or they mended the break in their friendship. I wasn’t expecting to see LQ Jones in a Nartin Scorsese film. But as others have noted LQ gives an acting lesson in a small but very crucial role!!!
