Eastwood as Indian

There is a bet between friends that Clint Eastwood played an Indian in one of his movies. He has always been the cowboy whether good or bad but I have never seen him as an Indian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starryknight1995 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I had a look at his movie list on IMdB, but there's no obvious Indian roles. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 20:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I've seen a lot of his movies, and I've gone over his filmography, but couldn't find anything either. Even in space, he's been a cowboy, though he was a Brave once. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

You must be confusing him with Anthony Hopkins, who starred in The World's Fastest Indian. :-) StuRat (talk) 06:49, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps you mistakenly thought his character in Pale Rider was a Native American ? That does somewhat sound like a Native American name translated into English. StuRat (talk) 06:49, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Eastwood's character in A Perfect World is called "Chief 'Red' Garnett", which might possibly be misinterpreted... Tevildo (talk) 17:41, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Can anyone identify this song?

I have been trying to identify the song used in this video for years, to no avail. Perhaps some of you can help me with that. Thank you in advance. --190.19.65.214 (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm unable to view the video right now, but the text immediately below says it is Weapons of Mad Distortion by The Crystal Method. This is an edited version of Weapons of Mass Distortion from the Legion of Boom album, and featured on the Blade: Trinity soundtrack. AJCham 21:30, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Strangely, I cannot see the text you are referring to, but I looked up the song and it seems to be the same one. Thank you very much for your help. --190.19.65.214 (talk) 22:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Is this Peter Davison?

According to IMDb, the actor who played John Stacey in the episode "Four Eyes" of Little House on the Prairie was one "Brian Richards". But watch from 6:37 to 7:07 and tell me that isn't Peter Davison, who played Tristan in All Creatures Great and Small and the Fifth Doctor on Doctor Who. Angr (talk) 22:07, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Ok. That isn't Peter Davison, who played Tristan in All Creatures Great and Small and the Fifth Doctor on Doctor Who. --Michig (talk) 22:10, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Me too. I'll happily tell you it isn't Peter Davison. There's an obvious similarity, but they're not the same people. No way. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 22:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Then it's his long-lost American identical twin brother. Angr (talk) 22:16, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Nope. Not even that. Their voices are quite different, and this guy doesn't have that ineffable look of suffering, resignation and defeat that Davison always seems to give out. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 23:01, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
