I ran into Will Sampson at a book store, I went through this weird time in my life where I kept running into all the nuts from Cuckoos Nest, I actually ran into Charlie Cheswick at a gas station around this time. So Sampson gave me his autograph and he writes "To Mark, Great spirits are smiling on you.".... and that was the kind of man he was..
I met him at a Native Ceremony, when i was about 13 or 14.I asked if i could shake his finger, cause i was half afraid to shake that big ole hand. He got quite a kick out of it and asked if he could have a pic, taken with me.

I was in the Hollywood scene before moving to Texas. Met some very nice people along the way. Only trouble is, unless your an A lister actor you starve. I spent a lot of time at AFI over the years.
He still the movie and will always be one if my favorite actors.
His short role in " Outlaw Law Josey Wales" made one of my favorite lines of all time.
RIP Gone much to soon.
Will, a gentle giant, in words, deeds and soul.

The man who found Will Sampson was my uncle Mel Lambert, Mr. Forman mistakenly called him Bill. He was one of the best rodeo announcers of all time. He also played the Harbour master in the film.
@Shelley Fitch oh yes. Uncle Mel was a force of nature. He had the gift of gab and was the most charismatic person I had ever seen. Also one of the best rodeo announcers ever.
Thanks for the info, that's wild that he played the harbor master!!!

My admiration and love for this big mountain man knows no bounds, even after his young demise. A man of so many talents and honest human integrity in everything he touched. Not so much even about his physical height yet his all-knowing eyes on a changing world - life that is even beyond our very own in the universe.
Will Sampson!! #Legend

Milos and his Czech pal (the lae, great Frantisek Daniel) were/are two of the funniest people on the planet. Milos probably hasn't told these Will Sampson anecdotes in years - but he automatically knows where the punchlines are. Can't beat the Czech's - Milos and Frank developed hundreds of great artists, minimum - probably a lot more.
Enjoyed this so much!
it's amazing that he did well in the movie given that he hadn't acted before
cool dude :)

@David Martin I am very aware of his talents since I knew him personally way back in the 70's and 80's. I have a portrait that Sonny did of me when I was young and cute. Sonny was an amazing, beautiful soul that loved with all his heart and gave to others without hesitation. He always told me that having a soft heart in a hard world was a sign of courage, not weakness. He was always brave enough to reach out into darkness to pull others out into the light. Good luck with your video about Sonny--I'm sure it will be great! As far as I'm concerned there could never be enough on youtube or in books or TV to pay homage to Sonny. 👍🤗👍
@David Martin He was a profound blessing in my life, as he also was a blessing to everyone who knew him. I miss him every day. Very nice talking with you David. (I have a son named David👍).
dude, this is cool
There are plenty of Tall Native American's, there were just not actors at the time.
Very poor actor he was, sorry to say.🤨🤨
