In my never ending obsession with lists, I am looking for some input from the Swdb community. I am compiling a list of films where a character is named after a historical person. Like Rod Cameron in Bullets Don’t Argue as Pat Garrett! Peter Lee Lawrence in I’ll Kill Him and Return Alone as Billy the Kid and Fausto Tozzi as Pat Garrett and so on. Thanks for the assistance.

Savalas = Pancho Villa
Within that movie there may be more real life characters like Walter Coy as General Pershing.
