Height

Why no height for Actors? Culnacréann 16:09, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Casting

The article now says, "His sharp features and piercing eyes made him an ideal "bad guy," though he was occasionally cast in a hero's role, such as a bounty hunter in For a Few Dollars More."

Occasionally? Seems to me that he was cast as a hero quite often. For example: "Death Rides a Horse," "The Magnificent Seven Ride," "Captain Apache," "The Big Gundown," "Grand Duel" and the two Sabata movies - and those are just the westerns!

I think it's safe to say be played the good guy as often as the bad. Monkey Bounce (talk) 15:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He played 54 bad guys before he ever played a good guy, and then he played what could be called a good guy (sometimes that's stretching things) 31 times. So it's almost two to one bad guys. Monkeyzpop (talk) 21:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. That's quite informative, actually. Perhaps it would be best to say that after For a Few Dollars More he started playing heroes. I remember him best from those heroic roles and I'm sure a lot of other people, like myself, are unaware of the depth of his "villainous" career before that.Monkey Bounce (talk) 23:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He is "The Bad". Period. :-) --Andrev (talk) 01:56, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Ugly One

Anyone heard of the song by the trojan reggae artist King Stitt? It is called the Ugly one (aka lee van cleef) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.83.121.172 (talk) 15:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi:

Except that 'Ugly' in 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' refers to Eli Wallach's character, not Van Cleef's.

Spouses

Could someone please find out when he was divorced from his first two wives? It looks very un-encyclopediac, seeing a question mark there. 24.60.239.47 (talk) 22:54, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
