Thell Reed

Not just fastest with a six-gun... fast, accurate and deadly. In the early 1960s he led a very nervous writer and photographer from a California gun magazine through an active rattlesnake denning area occupied by hundreds of rattlers. Each time a snake threatened them he quick-drew and fired. He never missed. The party eventually emerged at the other side unbitten.

[working on Los justicieros (1993): I've been very impressed with the actors, I've worked with. Coaching Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, we had to work from a custom-made, shoulder holster, since that's the way Doc carried his gun. Val lived the role. He not only became very adept at drawing and firing from the shoulder holster, he developed the Doc Holliday cough to perfection.
