The late great actor Richard Farnsworth was in "The Outlaw Josey Wales" as a Camanchero!

Oh my God!!How could I forget that 

This was at least my third time when I did this same mistake 

I give up.

Don't give up, Hemlock! You're one of our best at this game!

To repeat the current puzzler, since we "turned the page":

OK, next, another director who often turned up as an actor in his own films (and sometimes in others'): Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
