That's them. The sheer number of actors narrowed the possibilities, and eliminating Shakespeare narrowed it further. Jeremy Brett is known primarily for playing Sherlock, and both Robert Downey Jr and Will Farrell played him recently. Ian McKellen played a retired SH in "Mr Holmes" fairly recently. At least twice as many actors as I posted have played him, but I listed the ones you may have heard of (Stewart Granger, John Barrymore....) If you missed this, I was going to add Johnny Lee Miller, Benedict Comberbatch, and Basil Rathbone.
In other news, I'm skipping town for about a week, shortly, so I'll rejoin you in about a week. Talk amongst yourselves.

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

One of those names makes me think "Clint Howard" but I really don't think you went in that direction.

Though I can think of a number of Clint Howard appearances, the only character with name recognition would have been Balok.
Now the REALLY easy ones:
Marshal Jed Cooper Blondie Jonathan Hemlock
Ben Shockley Mitchell Gant Red Stovall
Wes Block Tommy Nowak Frank Horrigan
Frank Corvin Frankie Dunn Walt Kowalski
Rowdy Yates Philo Beddoe Thomas Highway
Harry Callahan Josey Wales Bronco Billy

That's him. "Ox" was in "Stripes", and was named in the dialogue. Burton Mercer was Jake Blues' parole officer. And so on.

Yes. Which one(s) gave it away? I hadn't gotten to any of the really obvious ones, yet.

I liked "A Time to Kill", and wasn't sure about Carl Lee's last name. Got the DVD around here somewhere.
