Sometimes, if your one-dimension is good enough, that's all you need. Cooper and Wayne (Gary was more dimensional than you think) played strong men convincingly. The Wayne of Red River, the vicious thug, was a masterful performance. Try not to let politics decide?
Now, Lemmon...there was a guy who was weak-looking. Good for comedy but as a serious actor he never convinced me. A wimp.
