Originally posted by Tirau DanClint Eastwood was not in Gunsmoke but played Rowdy Yates in Rawhide before the "spaghetti westerns" Also, he would have been able to make a movie in the USA, Rawhide was on hiatus when Leone offered him the work. He probably hadn't been offered anything by the US studios. He'd been pretty much a bit player before Rawhide and the got typecast as a "cowboy" with his work in Rawhide.
Sergio Leone plucked him out of Gunsmoke, took him to spain.. gave him wider shjoulders, stubble, darker skin, a trade mark cigar butt and clint asked for less lines.. the result was "Fistful of Dollars" the original spag western.... He wasn't allowed to make movies in the usa because of the gunsmoke contract. When he came back.. they could wait to sign h s the ole fellas last movie. Clint will make a better one his best is always his next one.
