I remember James Drury in "The Virginian".
The original "Man in Black". One of the finest Westerns ever made. Though it went against his better nature, he sometimes just had to make the bad guys "chew lead". Only thing those guys understood, I guess.
One of those rare cases where the guy in the black hat was the good guy. Though it seems to me this guy dwev is more interested in what "English Bob" might call brownhatting. Different strokes for different folks, I figure.
