what about the bad guys?


People say how good Hunnicutt was (and I agree) and I like Douglas and D. Martin... but in order for conflict to work you have to have a good performance by the "bad guy". I think Jim Davis was fantastic as Streak. He was a very under rated actor and through the years put in some good performances in movies and on tv with little notice except by his fans.

That's one nasty fate he meets though, a flaming stick to the face and then shot down....OUCH! Agreed though, he's a good if underused villain.

Always liked Jim Davis, but mainly for his distinctive voice and cragy looks. He seemed like a real original and a natural cowboy. He got a lot of work for a time doing commercials on TV for manly stuff (beef and pickup trucks).
