Sheen and C. Thomas Howell had fake facial hair, too. But theirs didn't look quite so bad.I guess it grew on me

Or sitting down at the Farnsworth house with Elliot and Berenger. From what I’ve been told. The Farnsworth House had become a favorite watering hole for cast and crew. It would have been awesome to have been in town during the filming of the movie.
I wasn't aware he has been married to Katherine Ross for about 35 years!
I think the Berenger fans would disagreeWhoever he played would have been the most handsome looking general in the movie, lol.
The role might have been written for Elliott!Elliot could have risen to any role in that movie. It is no accident that Buford was the best character in the movie, it was Sam Elliot's skill and talent. I think he would have made a great Armistead.

It was, in fact the perfect Sam Elliott role -- growling and glaring, fuming and surging with pent-up masculine fury.
It's what Sam does best.
I have a DVD copy of a seldom-seen 2012 movie produced by and starring Robert Redford called The Company You Keep and in its stellar cast includes Elliott in a cameo role as the current live-in love interest of British actress and 1960's-70's heartthrob Julie Christie - that was a believable paring too!Wow, yes!!! And Tom Berenger always wanted to be adressed as "General Longstreet" … where were we all when that happened???
I once read that people instinctively choose their partners from their own level of attractiveness. Whenever I see pictures of Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross, I think by myself how true that is. They really equal each other and Katherine Ross is the type of woman I find extremely attractive. Aw, some people just have it all ….
Patrick Gorman would have been a good Lee, come to think of it.Sam Elliott as Lee is something to ponder.
I like Martin Sheen as an actor generally, but I just didn't see anything in his portrayal of Lee in Gettysburg that caught fire. Lee inspired a lot of loyalty and confidence (warranted or not) in his troops, and I didn't get any of that in Sheen's performance. I can imagine people leaving the theater asking, "so what was so great about Lee, again?"
Patrick Gorman was much better as Hood, although he looked much too old for the role.

There you go - that's one of my beefs with casting today. No masculinity! What?
One of the few days I’d like to revisit my friend. A very special time sitting in the Farnsworth house listening to you quote Buford/Elliott.And just to round things off (... but really we could discuss Buford, Elliott, Longstreet, Berenger et al forever)
Here is Sam Elliott's shirt he wore in the movie and now proudly on display at Farnsworth House. Happy days @War Horse !!!

That dude is not Jeb. Never will be.I think the Berenger fans would disagree
Also, I've always had a thing for Martin Sheen
Worst beard award in my book definitely goes to J.E.B. Stuart, and I love J.E.B. Stuart's beard
