connection - Big Lebowski and Up In The Air?

I believe that Sam Elliot plays the cowboy/narrator at the end of The Big Lebowski - a gravel voiced wisdom-ownin' character. And I think that the pilot who sits down next to Ryan Bingham in Up In The Air is a gravel voiced wisdom-ownin' character played by Sam Elliot? Am I right?

Haven't seen the Clooney film yet, but Elliot is listed in the IMDB for UitA.

It looks like another Coen Brothers' film is drawing more specific comparisons with the Reitman one (some spoilers, so beware).
