John Davis Chandler (1937- )

On this day in 1937, character actor John Davis Chandler was born. Western fans will recognize Chandler for his supporting roles in three of Sam Peckinpah's films: Ride the High Country (1962), Major Dundee (1965), and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973). IMDB says of Chandler: " Short and stocky, with fair hair, piercing blue eyes, a pale complexion and a nasal, whiny voice, Chandler specialized in portraying mean, neurotic and dangerous villains." He was particularly good in a brief scene in The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) as a bounty hunter looking for Clint Eastwood (He's seen here at 7:51):
