Choosing His Roles
No matter what roles were offered to him after he found fame, Sam Elliott chose his roles. “I’m picky, very picky. I wanted to be an actor since I was nine years old and I figured that was only one way to ever have any longevity and that’s to be careful about what kind of work you do.
Choosing His Roles
You can work for money, do a lot of whatever comes your way and not have any kind of a yardstick to measure quality by, and people, you know you’ll make a lot of money if you’re lucky, and people will get fed up and sick of seeing you and that’s it onto the next one.”

Everything For The Part
Even though Elliott carefully picked his roles, he was exceptionally dedicated for those that he did choose. “I’ll do anything. I’ll shave my head for the right job.
Everything For The Part
I’m partial to my facial hair, I guess, but I also enjoy doing something where I look totally different, which is kind of the reason why I’ve always worn long hair. I can really change my look radically by getting rid of it.”
