There are many photos of Dylan in a cowboy hat. Here's one from the Pekinpah film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, where he played a small role:



Speaking of that voice, he also did the score for the movie, and have you heard the song, "Knocking on Heaven's Door"? Now that is a lush voice!

Yes, indeed.  Look like an Ennis to you?

Front-Ranger:
Yes, he does have the required edge but there is something missing. I don't see in him anything of the hurt little boy underneath the tough exterior. That is one of the many things that Heath in his genius brought to the role.

I did think of Joaquin Phoenix immediately for the role of Loyal Blood if Annie Proulx's novel Postcards is ever brought to the screen. He'd be amazing, like a comet across the sky in that challenging role!!
