Don't act ridiculous Tbh he was WW legend too, American Western movies used to be really popular around the globe, your parents or your grandparents surely knew about Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, James Dean, Charles Bronson etc. Check out the list: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls056161415/ The subgenre Spaghetti Western were directed by Italian director Sergio Leone. According to veteran Spaghetti Western actor Aldo Sambrell, the phrase 'Spaghetti Western' was coined by Spanish journalist Alfonso Sánchez.[2] The denomination for these films in Italy is western all'italiana (Italian-Style Western). Italo-Western is also used, especially in Germany. The term Eurowesterns may be used to also include Western movies that were produced in Europe but not called Spaghetti Westerns, like the West German Winnetoufilms or Ostern Westerns. The majority of the films were international co-productions between Italy and Spain, and sometimes France, Germany, Israel, Yugoslavia, or the United States. These movies were originally released in Italian, but as most of the films featured multilingual casts and sound was post-synched, most "western all'italiana" do not have an official dominant language.[3] The typical Spaghetti Western team was made up of an Italian director, Italo-Spanish[4] technical staff, and a cast of Italian, Spanish, German and American actors, sometimes a fading Hollywood star and sometimes a rising one like the young Clint Eastwood in three of Sergio Leone's films. Over six hundred European Westerns were made between 1960 and 1978.[5] The best-known Spaghetti Westerns were directed by Sergio Leone and scored by Ennio Morricone, notably the three films of the Dollars Trilogy – A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) – as well as Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). In fact these are consistently listed among the best Westerns of any variety.[6] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_Western This is the reason why many non-Americans know about cowboy actor legends, like John Wayne.

I still don't know him. Acting like I should, for what? To make me feel stupid? My OP remains uncancellable. Being shocked people don't know him is nonsense. Sorry.
