RIP Craig Hill. As Tom says, a star of the genre.
R.I.P. :’(
Another legend. RIP Lanky Gunman.
R.I.P…liked alot of his roles in westerns.
The things we know thanks to Tom, didn’t know we was married to Teresa Gimpera.
RIP, a talented Spaghetti actor
Very sad news. RIP. Lo voglio morto has always been among my favourite sws. Is it just my impression, or have a good many people connected with the spaghetti western genre died within the last two years?
Yes, they are dropping like flies .
Curious Why Craig Hill Isn’t in the SWBw Hall of Fame as an Lead Actor
He’s Been In Enough To Qualify
Majority of Them Are Good Maybe Not The Best Definitely Good Enough To Rank Him Up in the Top 18 Lead Actors of the Genre (Currently Only Have 17)
I Hereby Nominate Craig Hill for SWDb Lead Actor Hall of Fame
Can I Get a Second!?
I’ve nominated him before but he never quite gets over the line.
He’ll certainly be in with a shout next year I think
What Does He Lack that He Doesn’t Qualify?
Is There a Criteria List?
I agree that he should be the next one to be nominated. He will get my vote for sure.
And after him, it will be a toss up between these others.
Just to name a few that i could come up with. Antonio Sabato, Guy Madison, Hunt Powers, George Ardisson, Jeff Cameron, George Eastman.
Good Choices
Can Someone Explain the Process
It Doesn’t Look Like there is a Yearly Inductee(s)
Last Inductee was 2017 and Before that 2014
Why the Huge Gaps?
No set criteria list. He just has never got enough votes by forum members when it counts.
Long time forumite here @mrchallenge started this off back in 2009-10 and we’ve been voting every year since then. Including this year when Mark Damon finally made it in. The process has changed a little over the years but is always effectively an open poll done via the forum. Here’s the link to the relevant thread: SWDb Spaghetti Western Hall of Fame - #37 by mrchallenge
I don’t see any new Lead Actors since 2017
What Category is Mark Damon in
Don’t See Him in Lead or Supporting
How many votes is needed
Sorry just don’t get how Craig Hill Isn’t In It
Probably Deserves it over 2 or 3 Already On It
Damon was voted in this year but his “poster” and bio are yet to be added.
We only vote one person new in each year now and they can be from any of those categories so no guarantee there will be a new lead actor every year. Robert Hundar was last year’s inductee
I Get That The SW is Done/Over and That There is a Limited Amount of Choices
But Only 1 Per Year Seems Silly
Craig Hill > Mark Damon (Definitely IMO )
I Vote We increase The Number of Inductees Each Year To 4
Those 4 Can Be From Any Category
What Does the Rest of the Board Think?
Well, we used to induct more per year but pulled the number back in to ensure we still had worthy candidates each year. If we voted in 4 new inductees every year we’d be down to Sean Flynn and Gianni Crea before you know it.
4 Inductees Spread Out Over 9 Categories
Yes You Will Run Out Eventually I Understand That
But At One A Year I’ll Be Dead Long Before That
Again I Vote we Increase The Yearly Inductees to 4
Who Else Votes With Me!?
Joe
Calm down, mate.
Totally Calm Here No Worries
