Wayne, Eastwood and Bronson all have limited range due to their
emotional constitutions; however, they all play the macho type
characters very well. Wayne was confined mostly to either a cowboy,
or a soldier, usually an errant, fiesty junior officer. Eastwood
mostly to a cowboy or detective; however, Clint won an Academy Award
as Director ("The Unforgiven"), something that had eluded him as an
actor. Bronson had more flexibility in a variety of toughguy roles,
he was good in the film you mentioned, "The Great Escape", other good
roles were "The Mechanic" and "Telifom"; he also played a private
citizen viligante in the "Death Wish" series.
I also liked "Wyatt Earp", but I liked "Tombstone" even better. If
you like actors who get absorbed into their characters, check out
British actor Charles Laughton in "Mutiny On The Bounty"-1935, as
Captain Bligh, in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"-1938, as Quasimodo,
and in "The Island of Lost Souls"-1933, as Doctor Moreau. - AH
