Clinton "Clint" Eastwood Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an American film actor, director, producer, composer, and former politician. Following his breakthrough role on the TV series "Rawhide" (1959–65), Eastwood starred as the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy of spaghetti westerns ("A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly") in the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films ("Dirty Harry," "Magnum Force," "The Enforcer," "Sudden Impact," and "The Dead Pool") during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films "Unforgiven" (1992) and "Million Dollar Baby" (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including "Play Misty for Me" (1971), "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (1976), "Pale Rider" (1985), "In the Line of Fire" (1993), "The Bridges of Madison County" (1995), and "Gran Torino" (2008), have all received commercial success and/or critical acclaim. Eastwood's only comedies have been "Every Which Way but Loose" (1978) and its sequel "Any Which Way You Can" (1980); despite being widely panned by critics they are the two highest-grossing films of his career after adjusting for inflation. Eastwood has directed most of his own star vehicles, but he has also directed films in which he did not appear such as "Mystic River" (2003) and "Letters from Iwo Jima" (2006), for which he received Academy Award nominations and "Changeling" (2008), which received Golden Globe Award nominations. He has received considerable critical praise in France in particular, including for several of his films which were panned in the United States, and was awarded two of France's highest honors: in 1994 he received the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres medal and in 2007 was awarded the Légion d'honneur medal. In 2000 he was awarded the Italian Venice Film Festival Golden Lion for lifetime achievement. Since 1967 Eastwood has run his own production company, Malpaso, which has produced the vast majority of his films. He also served as the nonpartisan mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, from 1986 to 1988. Eastwood has seven children by five women, although he has only married twice. An audiophile, Eastwood is also associated with jazz and has composed and performed pieces in several films along with his eldest son, Kyle Eastwood.

Samuel “Sam” Mercer
for Samuel “Sam” Mercer in THE LAST GUNSLINGER (2027)
Suggested by amrowe8596
In the barren deserts of the Southwest, Samuel “Sam” Mercer is a former gunslinger in his eighties, spending his days living a quiet, almost forgotten life in the remote border town of Dunston, where the old ways have long faded, and few remember his storied past. When a Mexican immigrant family—Rosa and Diego Martinez and their young son Emilio—arrive in town looking to start a farm, they quickly fall victim to ruthless land baron Clayton Burroughs and his men, who threaten to push them off the land they’ve bought, claiming it rightfully belongs to Burroughs. With no one else to turn to, Rosa and Diego reluctantly seek help from Sam, who is known to the townsfolk as a bitter old recluse. At first resistant, Sam soon realizes that helping the family might be his final chance to right old wrongs and leave behind a legacy of kindness instead of violence. As Sam dusts off his skills and weapon, he quickly learns he’s not the man he used to be. His eyesight is failing, his hand is unsteady, and his reflexes are a fraction of what they once were. But he’s fueled by a purpose he hasn’t felt in years. Together with Rosa and Diego, Sam devises a plan to protect their land from Burroughs and his corrupt cronies, each small victory strengthening their fragile alliance. When Burroughs realizes the old gunslinger is a serious threat, he brings in a younger, deadlier gunslinger, Eli “The Kid” Walker, who also has a haunting connection to Sam’s past.
