Samuel Pack Elliott (born August 9, 1944) is an American character actor. He is usually recognized by his tall, thin, rough-hewn physique, a thick handlebar moustache and a gruff speaking voice.

Early life

Elliott was born in Sacramento, California. He moved from California to Oregon with his family during his teenage years. Elliott is a member of the college fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon and worked in construction while studying acting in Los Angeles.

Career

Elliott began his career as a stage actor, but his appearance naturally suited cowboy and adventurer movie roles. His first movie appearance was in 1969 as a card player in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, where he met his future wife, actress Katharine Ross. They married in 1984, the same year their daughter, Cleo, was born.

During 1970-71, Elliott starred as Doug Robert in the hit TV series Mission: Impossible and later played "sexy" killers in the miniseries Murder in Texas (1981) and A Death in California (1986). He has made guest appearances on shows such as Felony Squad, Gunsmoke, Lancer and Hawaii Five-O and has featured in many TV movies, for instance as Wild Bill Hickock in Buffalo Girls (1995).

Some of his more well-known film roles include:

* Pickett Smith in Frogs (1972)
* Rick Peterson in Lifeguard (1976)
* Gar in Mask (1985)
* Wade Garrett in the cult film Road House (1989)
* Virgil Earp, in Tombstone (1993)
* General John Buford in Gettysburg (1993)
* Oklahoma Lawman Bill Tilghman in You Know My Name (1999)
* Sergeant-Major Basil L. Plumley in We Were Soldiers (2002)
* General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross in Hulk (2003)

He also had a small but memorable role as "The Stranger" in the Coen Brothers' film The Big Lebowski (1998), in which he narrated the movie. In 2006, he starred in the TNT TV movie Avenger.

Elliott's voice can be heard in as the voiceover narration for commercials from time to time. In the past he has lent his voice to campaigns for Chevy, IBM, Union Pacific, and, most notably, took over as the voice of the American Beef Council after Robert Mitchum.

The young Elliott was often cast for his "beefcake" appeal. In his early movies—The Games, Frogs, Molly and Lawless John—he performed a number of scenes without his shirt. Later, in Lifeguard, he appeared in much of the movie wearing nothing more than a pair of swim trunks. Next, in The Legacy, he shed all his clothes for a gratuitous nude scene. As late as 2003, when he was in his late 50s, Elliott still managed to strip to the waist for a scene in Off the Map.
