A Westerns Legend Played Two Completely Different Characters In Clint Eastwood's Dollars Trilogy, And It Led To One Of The Genre's Best Ever Villains

Bringing back one of the stars of the second film in the Dollars Trilogy to play an entirely different character in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly led to the birth of a Western legend and one of the genre's best-ever villains. Directed by Sergio Leone, the Dollars Trilogy consists of three critically acclaimed Westerns, all with Clint Eastwood as the star: Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and easily the most famous of them all, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Each played a role in transforming Clint Eastwood into an icon of the genre. However, he wasn't the only one to develop a larger-than-life reputation as a result of the films' success.
