  3. He was so great in “Tremors”, played that western redneck persona to perfection. Also wonderful in “The Right Stuff” as Virgil “Gus” Grissom. On a side note, my sainted fraternal granddad knew Mr. Grissom. He was from Mitchell, Indiana, about 10 miles from where gramps grew up. They were childhood buddies. All of the good ones are going to quickly these days. Enjoyed his movies.
