Cast Reunion! Cast members talk! In John Wayne’s classic western THE COWBOYS, Method Actor Bruce Dern created an unforgettable character that angered audiences and frightened the young actors who co-starred in the film. None were more surprised and panicked than Nicolas Beauvy. The talented youngster had already made a name for himself in several films when he was cast by director Mark Rydell as “Four Eyes,” the character Dern intimidates and brutally dunks in the ice cold river.
What was the experience like for Beauvy? Did Dern’s enthusiasm add to the realism of the scene? What did the other young actors think of Dern? What did they think of working with icon John Wayne? How many of them could ride before they were cast?
Find out in this marathon episode of conversations with THE COWBOYS in a special cast reunion for A WORD ON WESTERNS. Join Rob Word as he talks with seven of the young wranglers. Nicolas “Four Eyes” Beauvy, Robert “Slim” Carradine, A “Cimarron” Martinez, Steve Benedict, Sean “Stuttering Bob” Kelly, Albert “Fats” Barker” and Stephen “Charlie” Hudis.”
