Was there ever a replacement for John Wayne?

[SteveSS]

I rewatched True Grit last night and McClintok today. It made me wonder if now or ever has there ever been someone as good that can replace him? I know there's , other tough guys and action stars but he brought more to the screen. He didn't have to be a steroid body builder. He just had an authority about him and a human side.

Anyone even close???

Tom Selleck? Jeff Bridges? Chris Pratt?

James Drury as "The Virginian" pretty much dressed the same, and was a cool actor in his part.

He came across as a mini John Wayne. Doug McClure was quite the opposite.

Unreplaceable. A cowboy takes his boots, pistol, and hat to the grave
