Two interesting choices not on the poll. Clint and John. Is this a continuation from earlier larger polls?

I chose Lee Marvin. All in the poll are fine actors, he just seemed very Western-y. Jack Palance is almost a caricature of Western characters.

There’s a separate poll, started today, on Eastwood vs. Wayne. And yes, this is a part of a series (yet to be completed) based on the results (so far) in [Your Top 5 All-Time Westerns Stars.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=755009)

I’m trying to get some discussion going at [John Wayne vs. Clint Eastwood](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558336) which is a bumped zombie from 2010. Join in there if you wish.

I’ve been giving all the 2015 threads on this topic 60 days for polls to stay open, so there’s no telling what will develop. It’s just a topic I thought would be fun to probe more than the typical quickie poll.
