Kalo Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 A Native American!!! http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/ironeyes.asp Didn't know that, but I always thought he kind of looked like Andy Griffith in native drag... Quote
Alexander Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I understand that back in the heyday of the "Cowboy and Indian" films, Native Americans were usually played by Italian-Americans and Jews. Which, of course, reminds me of Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles"... Quote
Kalo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 The Jewish Jeff Chandler (born Ira Grossel) played Cochise in three different Hollywood films, as well as Indians in several others, I believe. Quote
