"The most interesting man in the world" (the REAL one) killed by John Wayne

[Wyatt Burp]

Yes, the original "most interesting man..." had about three seconds of screen time in "The Shootist". Just enough time to get shot in the head by John Wayne. In this interview he talks about that, Gunsmoke, and other most interesting stuff. There was only one James Bond. Sean Connery. And there's only one most interesting dude. This guy.

Great story, Wyatt...since I watch very little commercial TV I am just barely familiar with this ad campaign, but it has been a good one in the midst of so many bad ones. How could you not like a guy like this?

Thanks for sharing...

Best Regards, Les

...back in the old days...I used to confuse Jonathan Goldsmith...

...with Bruce Dern...

They got a new guy, Les, but it ain't the same, of course. No offense to him, but it's like when we put on Bewitched one night in the late 60s and there was a brand new Darrin, and nobody on the show seemed to notice.

 

[les.b]

Oh, well, I'm glad I haven't seen the new one!! I really liked that guy...now I see what you mean about Sean Connery and the real James Bond.

Best Regards, Les

Hey, you got a point there. And both those guys were dealt with fatally by Clint Eastwood in "Hang 'Em High". I think he also went by the name "Jonathan Lippe".

I have seen the new commercials and was a little disappointed.
Did something happen to Mr. Goldsmith? Is he still with us? Did he just retire?

I read Dos Equis wanted someone younger to go after millineals.

I read that he wanted too much money at contract renewal.

I tried Dos Equis... IMO they should've changed the beer instead of the spokesperson.Maybe I just wasn't properly attired when chugging it.

New guy

Should be the most interesting nose in the world!

Nah, Jamie Farr is still alive and holing that title

 

[Straightshooter2]

He was also a red shirt in Star Trek TOS episode "The Corbomite Maneuver." But since he didn't go down to the planet, it's assumed he survived.

 

[handejector]

I know the man.

He told me:

Who could argue with him?

More confusing "doubles."

They both (bearded one in Paths of Glory) aint Vic Morrow.
Rod Cameron and Robert Ryan--two more to me-that greatly look alike.

I don't know this for fact but heard that the most interesting man was also killed in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.

Also, as far as look alikes, in the second picture of Ringos', the tall one in the peaked cap next to the "Father" looks a lot like Nicholas Cage.

I couldnt find the exact images I wanted-but he's Ralph Meeker-who even sounds like Vic Morrow-to me.

 

[Jessie]

They do look alike.
I was talking about the ones behind him.
