ANSWER: Television

Clint Eastwood


Clint Eastwood began acting during the mid-1950s with uncredited appearances in B-films such as Revenge of the Creature, Tarantula, and Francis in the Navy.

He seriously considered quitting the acting profession and returning to school to start doing something with his life. His break came when he won the role of Rowdy Yates in the TV series Rawhide, which ran from 1959 to 1966. As Rowdy Yates (whom Eastwood privately described as "the idiot of the plains"),[12] he became a household name across the United States. He did not make another theatrical film until he was contacted by Sergio Leone in 1964, although he did make several guest appearances on TV, including the western comedy series Maverick, in which he fought James Garner in the "Duel at Sundown" episode.
