b-movie western character actor, not really French

If you go to findagrave.com, you can find a grave, which is pretty cool for all you dead celebrity stalkers. Check out the grave of old Charles K. French, born Krauss, in the Hollywood vicinity. Mr. French was born in Ohio back in 1860, and lived 91 years, dying in 1952, and making movies from 1909 until 1944. He was in westerns as much as anything else, tending to be a bartender in a saloon and that sort of thing. (http://www.b-westerns.com/villain42.htm)
Something about those old westerns that really makes me want to step into them... something very comforting about them. This has always been their appeal. But they are also in a sense possibly dangerous for this reason, because millions of foolish people take this fantasy as being their ideal, and somehow it leads them to a 'conservative' ideology. I don't know what the connection really is, but I've seen it, often.
