Part of what helped propel Sam Elliott to success was his distinctive voice, and over the years, he's lent it to a wide variety of high-profile commercials for Dodge, Union Pacific, IBM, and the American Beef Council.

“They’re running around in chaps and no shirts. In court documents obtained by People magazine at the time, Ross alleged that her daughter had been physically violent with her since the age of "12 or 13," and on March 2 on that year verbally threatened to kill her, cut Ross' phone line when she attempted to call the police, and stabbed her six times in the arm with scissors, with enough force to break the skin.

It's so bizarre."

Sam Elliott might not get all the attention, but we totally do. "I was terrified when we first started.

It's pretty scary still." Beyond the format of the show, however, he was also concerned with the show's comical depiction of alcoholism. My conscience is clear, even though my career is still not setting the world on fire."

Perhaps unsurprisingly, he later became a vocal supporter of the #MeToo movement, telling Variety, "Women in this town have been put upon by the men in this business the way they have for so long." However, these decades weren't all hard times, as he scored a number of high-profile roles that were instrumental in boosting his visibility.

His father worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a predatory and rodent control specialist, and the two spent a lot of time in the great outdoors.

Young Elliott eventually enrolled at the University of Oregon where he studied English and psychology for just two terms before dropping out of college to pursue his passion for acting — a calling that made his father less than excited.

Benedict Cumberbatch stars as a sadistic rancher who makes life hell for his new sister-in-law and her son in 1925 Montana. "He had a wife and three children, but he fancied me." Despite that potential awkwardness, he and Thompson became close friends, and Thompson helped Elliott sign on with his first talent agent.

Elliott and his wife Katharine Ross famously appeared in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," though they wouldn't meet until nearly a decade later when they were cast in the 1978 horror film "The Legacy." But as Elliott told Marc Maron on "WTF," he had been in love with Ross for years prior, all the way back to her film debut in the James Stewart Civil War drama "Shenandoah." The two married in 1984, and their daughter Cleo Rose Elliott was born that same year.

Many years later while speaking in an interview withThe Star, he explained, "He died thinking, 'Man, this kid is going to go down the wrong path.' And I think on some levels that was either hard on me or made me more focused in my resolve to have a career, you know what I mean?"

Luckily for Sam Elliott and his fans, he decided to follow his dream.

and got pretty emotional as he recounted how many friends he has that were apparently offended by his remarks.

ICYMI ... Elliott not only delivers Smokey's famous catchphrase — "Only you can prevent wildfires" — but he actually shares his birthdate with the fictional spokesbear: August 9, 1944. And yes, the guy issued a full mea culpa ...

Perhaps the most notable products you might've heard his familiar voice hawking are Coors beer and Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks.

Since 2008, Elliott has also voiced Smokey the Bear, the U.S. Forest Service's mascot developed to help with wildfire prevention efforts. In 2015, Elliott was inducted into the Mustache Hall of Fame, alongside the likes of real-life legends such as Teddy Roosevelt, Hulk Hogan, and Billy Dee Williams, as well as fictional characters such as Ned Flanders and Yosemite Sam.

Talk about a distinguished class of facial hair.

While we all know and love his superior upper-lip sweater, Elliott himself doesn't quite understand all the fuss. So maybe that explains in part why Elliott is such a perfect advocate for forest fire safety.

While Sam Elliott's star had been rising steadily for some 20 years or so, in the 2010s, he really took off.

And I think more importantly than anything, it takes wanting to be married. Unfortunately, his father never got to see him achieve the success that the elder Elliott probably foresaw would be hard coming — if it ever came at all.

When the wheels began rolling on Sam Elliott's acting career, he did what a lot of actors before him had done: Started out in small roles in television Westerns, eventually earning slightly more substantial parts in the hit shows Lancer and Mission: Impossible.

His first role in a major film came in 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, which featured the superstar leads Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the titular roles.

I've had propositions from men and women, and I've turned them all down. And boy, when I fucking saw that [movie], I thought, ‘What the fuck? It wasn't long before the couple were married. “You work past the s***; you don’t walk away from it. For the most part, he seemed destined to forever be a somewhat acknowledged face without a name. But now that he's stepped into the spotlight at long last, it's time to take a look at the untold truth of Sam Elliott.
