He main scene is at the first of the movie where he challenges Davy Crockett. He is one of Crockett's fellow Tennessians and they both attemp to blow feathers off each others head to see who gets the first hit. He is the one that is then decked out by John Wayne after failing to knock him down.
shareHi , the guy is Tom hennesy , he was in big jake as well as a few other Wayne films.
shareThanks lightcloud. I wonder if he was in the Kirk Douglas/Tony Curtis movie The Vikings. I think he might have played Pigtail's husband. She was the one that Doublas "proved" innocent of not cheating on her husband by cutting her pigtails by throwing hackets and cutting her pigtails. (I think she was actually guilty by cheating with Douglas!). If he was in that movie he is uncredited even on IMDB.

I seem to remember Tom Hennessy was one of the actor/stuntmen who played the Creature from The Black Lagoo. Ben Chapman, who played the Gill Man on land, died a few years ago.
shareYes, Tom Henessey played the Creature in "Revenge of the Creature", the first sequel to "The Creature From The Black Lagoon"
shareFILMFAX did an article on the "Creature" films several years ago, and I think, Hennessy and Chapman were interviewed.
Don Megowan who played the role in THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US played Travis in Disney's CROCKETT and can also be seen as saloon buffoon(that alliteration) during Madeleine Kahn's number in BLAZING SADDLES.
