BARELY resembles John Wayne

Okay, but there's a lot more to portraying a real-life person than simply looking like them.
The guy played John Wayne, and played him well. I'm sure there are hundreds of people who look more like John Wayne than he does, but are they professional actors?
Simply looking like John Wayne does not mean you'll give a good performance in a movie, does it? John Wayne himself proved that.

Are people really this stupid? IS this the level of conversation?

Its a fine line between getting a good performance and a caricature. Personally I couldn't care less if the actor looks like the famous person he's playing if he does a good job.

True, but I thought he nailed the feeling of John Wayne and was certainly big enough. Also, you might argue that the iconic images of John Wayne we've all grown up with could be very different to the off-screen man.

totslly agree

At least the voice was right, I would have never known their version of EGR...maybe later just the shot of him older with facial hair.

Agreed, even though the actor portraying Wayne is a fellow Torontonian.

Well he looked somewhat like John Wayne, but the actor had Wayne's voice down perfectly.
