[Richard Farnsworth](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002070/) is one of the actors I’ll give a show a chance for just because he’s in it. First came to appreciate him after seeing _The Grey Fox_. That was cemented after his roles in _Misery, Comes A Horseman, The Natural, The Cowboys, Tom Horn_, and others. His bio is incredible… _The Wild One, Red River, Gone With The Wind, Spartacus…_ :eek:
