Donald Pleasence [Will Penny/Soldier Blue/Hallelujah Trail/Hearts Of The West]
Robert Shaw [Custer Of The West/A Town Called Bastard]
Christopher Lee [Hannie Calder]
Sylvia Syms [The Desperados]
Kate O’ Mara [The Desperados]
Anthony Dawson [Red Sun]
Kenneth Cope [The Desperados]
Roddy McMillan [Chato’s Land]
Sally Adez [Chato’s Land]
Paul Young [Chato’s Land]
Christopher Chittell [They Call Me Cemetery]
Donald Pleasence & Lynn Redgrave also appeared in Centennial [1978-79]
There have been plenty over the years. Some that spring to mind are:
Richard Wyler (Stapley) made quite a few - The Bounty Killer being the best
Sean Connery, Jack Hawkins, Honor Blackman, Eric Sykes - Shalako
Susan George - Sonny and Jed
Kenneth More (and a bunch of support players) - The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw
John Steiner - Tepepa and Mannaja amongst others
Terence Stamp - Young Guns
Joan Collins - The Bravados and The Cry of the Wolf
Jeremy Irons - Appaloosa
John Mills - Chuka
All the Carry On mob - Carry on Cowboy
Angela Lansbury - A Lawless Street (with Randolph Scott)
Victor McLaglen - Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Rio Grande
McLaglen is often mistaken as Irish because of his name and all the parts he played in John Ford’s films but he was actually English and started his film career in London.
Despite playing ‘English Bob’ in Unforgiven though Richard Harris was Irish of course so doesn’t really qualify.
I’m sure there are others I’ve forgotten for the moment.
As soon as I stopped writing I started thinking of some more:
Alan Bates - Silent Tongue
Alfred Molina - Maverick
John Richardson - John the Bastard
Ian McKellen - The Ballad of Little Jo
John Cleese - Silverado
John Hurt - Dead Man
Richard Branagh - Wild, Wild West
Liam Neeson - Seraphim Falls
Stephen Boyd - Man Called Noon, Shalako, The Bravados, Charge!
Stewart Granger - Gun Glory, North to Alaska and a trio of Winnetou films. He was also a regular in The Virginian TV series too.
Roger Moore - If we are allowing TV westerns then Sir Roger counts for his work on the Maverick show.
Lynn Redgrave [¡Viva la muerte… tua!]
Anthony Quayle [Mackenna’s Gold]
Sydney Chaplin [If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death]
Mary Ure [Custer Of The West]

You are correct , i’ve removed Richard Harris from my list.

Christian Bale
hmmm… Dirk Bogarde in The Singer, Not The Song
Scot; Pat McGoohan did an episode of The Prisoner, in a spaghetti-western format… lone cowboy vs. town-boss and hired-guns to rescue a saloon-girl.[/quote]
Patrick McGoohan was born in the USA but was raised in the UK , so i’m afraid he doesn’t count…sorry.
Patrick Holt [The Desperados]
Peter Birch [Buffalo Girls]
Christian Roberts [The Desperados]
Jill Ireland [Breakheart Pass/Chino/Villa Rides/From Noon Til 3]
Dudley Sutton [A Town Called Bastard ]
Still sounds funny, Jill Ireland British, and Britt Ekland Swedish, not to mention Tom Holland American, Brooklyn British and Lourdes a daughter of Madonna and not the other way around.
