The best Western Character actor?

Just saw him on an episode of The Rifleman where he gets gunned down by John Anderson (another classic Western character). Jack had that real scary, mean b68look- maybe slightly crazy at times.
Love him in just about anything. One of the most under-appreciated actors of the past 50 years. -

One of my regrets in life is intending to write to Jack Elam after he was in that series with Lonnie Anderson and telling him how much I enjoyed his work through the years. I never did get around to it. =( I am a major follower of character actors and he was high on my list of folks to watch for. Especially liked the early really nasty guys and also the Support Your Local character. Nice to be able to still see him now and then in the westerns being re-run.
