Woody Harrelson


Is Woody Harrelson the modern-day Strother Martin?.
Yes, I know Strother was absolutely unique and a pleasure to see on screen but like Strother's, Woody's characters are always vivid and larger than life.I was watching the Hunger Games today and the likeness suddenly struck me.
Discuss!
Anyrodeup, RIP Strother, sadly missed by film-goers of a certain age!.

You could make a case for that! I loved Strother Martin in this film. To me, its his most well-rounded Peckinpah low-life character, with a real arc to his development and even redemption at the end. His scene of being turned out into the desert is wonderfully done.

Straight out of The Wild Bunch but he straightened out, sort of. I liked him even more in True Grit playing a more realistic businessman who gets bamboozled by young Addie.

Yeah pretty much :)
