When the take was over, he liked it so much, he ran up to me and gave me a bear hug and lifted me clean off my feet!" - on co-starring with John Wayne in the films El Dorado (1966), Chisum (1970), and The Train Robbers (1973). Sam Troy doesn`t like authority. He doesn`t want anyone trying to control his life. He wants to guide his own destiny -- and in that desert patrol, he`s found a way to do it. That desert patrol is Sam Troy`s world. Anything that comes near it, that will endanger it, he destroys. He`s absolutely dedicated to his own values. He`ll shoot an enemy cold-bloodedly if it`s necessary, to protect these values. Christpher George on Sam Troy
