Will you have to deepen the primer pocket by the same amount?

Who is the old bloke? Looks a bit like Camel but without the Wolf Creek/70's surfer hair.

It's Sam Elliot. They are filming a reboot of Tombstone out at Hillston. He plays a rabbit shooter who cleans up a lawless town when a bunch of internet tough guys try to muscle in on his patch.

Which reminds me, the new Mad Max movie has ONE original actor from the original series...."Toecutter" (Hugh Keays-Byrne).

Camel, were you in any of the original movies?

Jeepers, either Sam has been doing it tough, or they are using those prosthetic faces like the Orcs in Lord of the Rings.

It's all CGI. Camel IS Sam Elliot, but with some CGI....

Just had another look at the photo above - are we entirely sure this fella isn't Tom Selleck post-Magnum PI?
