John Wayne is widely known for his iconic roles in classic Westerns and war movies, but his acting talents actually extend to all genres in Hollywood.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT John Wayne is primarily known for his famous roles in Westerns and war movies but has also starred in several other classic genres during his illustrious career. Wayne's legacy can be attributed to his roles in revolutionary Western films such as 1939's Stagecoach which certified him as a major Hollywood star who embodied sentiments of the rugged and masculine wandering traveler.
9 Reap The Wild Wind Reap the Wild Wind stars Wayne as Captain Jack Stewart in this romantic action drama directed by the legendary director Cecil B. DeMille. Wayne's character finds himself in a battle for a woman's love with a lawyer on a shipwrecked vessel stuck on the Key West coast. The film represents a glamorous golden age of Hollywood in the early 1940s which Wayne seamlessly fits into with his charming looks and suave demeanor typically seen under a cowboy hat.
7 Wake Of The Red Witch Wake of the Red Witch may sound like a John Wayne horror film, but it is actually another action-adventure drama with romantic elements. Wayne stars as a corrupt sea captain of the 'Red Witch' ship set in the 1860s. The actor surprisingly diverts into darker and more villainous characteristics in the film, allowing him to exercise previously untapped areas of his acting abilities.
4 Idol Of The Crowds Idol of the Crowds is another rare sports film Wayne stars in, this time with a focus on hockey instead of football. This glance at a younger Wayne puts him on the ice as a part of a series of non-Western films he did with Universal. Wayne's character Johnny Hanson is a retired hockey player who now owns a chicken farm and claims to have no interest in playing again.
