The Cowboy

Elliott had a natural cowboy look that women loved and men wanted to emulate. After his star performance in Mask, directors hunted him down to cast him for other roles. He soon became a well-known rugged cowboy in flicks like The Quick and the Dead (1987), Houston: The Legend of Texas (1986), Tombstone (1993) and You Know My Name (1999). His cowboy persona eventually led him in 2007, to be inducted into the National Cowboy Western Heritage Museum.
