Clint Eastwood‘s most famous Western movie character is the antihero known as “The Man With No Name,” but his breakout role was very different. Eastwood had played small roles in movies and TV shows since 1955, but he found success in a classic old Western TV show. Rawhide portrayed the lives and struggles faced by cattle drovers in the 1860s, and Eastwood appeared in each of its 217 episodes. After Rawhide ended, Eastwood traveled to Europe to play a lead role in a Western movie, which led to a drastic change in his acting career.
