John Wayne in modern pop culture

Movies and television

Characters in numerous other movies and television shows have made imitations of John Wayne. Easily imitated, with his signature swaggered walk, especially the use of the word "pilgrim," and famous lines like, "fill your hands you son-of-a-bitch," have made their way into other performances.

Jonathan Winters imitated Wayne on several occasions, and Robin Williams has even imitated Winters imitating Wayne (including in the film Good Morning Vietnam).

Clyde Kusatsu played eccentric Honolulu Detective Gordon Katsumoto on two episodes of Magnum P.I., titled "This Island Isn't Big Enough...." and "A.A.P.I." (both 1986), in which he imitated John Wayne throughout the show. The imitation went so far as to have a bronze bust of Wayne and a white cavalry hat (like the one Wayne wore in movies Rio Grande, Fort Apache, and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon,) in his office.

Full Metal Jacket, the Stanley Kubrick 1987 effort has Matthew Modine doing his Wayne imitations.

1989: Holly Hunter and Brad Johnson both attempt, although poorly, to imitate "The Duke" in the movie Always.

In the 1996 film The Birdcage, Robin Williams encourages Nathan Lane to become more "manly" by walking like Wayne.

On the 1998-2003 improv comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway?, improv actor Ryan Stiles was known for his trademark John Wayne impersonation.

When filming the 2003 film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, the inspiration for many of the actions of the character Gothmog were based on John Wayne.
