1. His career made it through The Legacy.
2. Just listen to him talk; he tells you to do something - you'll involuntarily do it.
3. Let 'em make as many Hulk movies as they want - HE IS GENERAL ROSS.
4. Sam's shared romantic screen time with Anne Archer, Vera Miles, Cher AND Kirstie Alley. Jealous?
5. You need someone to ride a horse in your movie? Call him.
6. Even Patrick Swayze couldn't upstage him in Road House.
7. He played Evel Knievel in a TV movie once. Are you surprised?
8. If anyone could make cartoon cows or CGI dogs sound forceful and commanding, it's Sam.
9. The moustache.
10. You know that Western you saw that one time, where it had that guy who was good with a gun, who had all the women in town after him, who had all the good dialogue and never missed a shot? That was Sam!
11. He was in the same movie as a flying reindeer and made it plausible.
12. Sharing a birthday with McG does nothing to negate how cool he is.
13. All those years with Katherine Ross, she never complained about him smelling of horse.

15. He's the only man in the world who can get away with leering.
16. Never worked with Pauly Shore. Never will.
17. He was thanked in a documentary about Merian C. Cooper. Why? Because Sam's name just classes up your credits, THAT'S why.
18. Sam was one of those rare "Promising Young Actors" who actually made it.
19. If you even put a saddle on an ostrich, chances are Sam could ride it.
20. All he ever wants to be is Sam Elliott. And that's more than anyone else could be.
