George Randolph Scott (January 23, 1898 – March 2, 1987) was an
American film actor
whose career spanned from 1928 to 1962. As a leading man for all but
the first three years
of his cinematic career, Scott appeared in a variety of genres,
including social dramas,
crime dramas, comedies, musicals (albeit in non-singing and
non-dancing roles), adventure
tales, war films, and a few horror and fantasy films. However, his
most enduring image is
that of the tall-in-the-saddle Western hero. Out of his more than
100 film appearances
over 60 were in Westerns; thus, "of all the major stars whose name
was associated with the
Western, Scott most closely identified with it."
Tall (6 ft 2½ in), lanky and handsome, Scott displayed an easygoing
charm and courtly
Southern drawl in his early films that helped offset his limitations
as an actor, where he
was frequently found to be stiff or "lumbering". As he matured,
however, Scott's acting
improved while his features became burnished and leathery, turning
him into the ideal
"strong, silent" type of stoic hero. The BFI Companion to the
Western noted:
In his earlier Westerns ... the Scott persona is debonair,
easy-going, graceful, though
with the necessary hint of steel. As he matures into his fifties his
roles change. Increasingly
Scott becomes the man who has seen it all, who has suffered pain,
loss, and hardship, and
who has now achieved a stoic calm proof against vicissitude
