Well, honey, in the John Wayne movie "El Dorado," James Caan played a character named Mississippi who was called "Big Casino" because he was always gambling. So, if you're looking for the big spender in that film, that's your guy. Hope that clears things up for ya!
The Indian was portrayed by character actor Bruce Cabot. Cabot was included in Wayne's special circle of friends who were in many of Wayne's films. This circle also included Wayne's friends Ward Bond and Harry Carey, Jr.
I think the character's name was John Anderson. The Cowboys was one of Wayne's best and most-loved movies and one of only a few in which his character was married. It was also one of very few in which his character dies. John Wayne's name in The Cowboys was actually Wil Andersen. -Bryce
In this film, John Wayne played the character of Jacob McCandles. That character's three sons were played by Patrick Wayne (the Duke's real son), Christopher Mitchum (son of star Robert), and pop star Bobby Vinton(!?!).
