Very often they are pariahs whom no one else will be friends with because they used to have a drinking problem, because they don\u2019t shave and smell bad, because they\u2019re moochers, or simply because they\u2019re different. But a real cowboy hero has a noble perspective on human nature and sees beyond all such superficial shortcomings to become a true friend to his inferior\u2019s companion. Besides, on those rare occasions when a cowboy hero is in trouble, it is often or straight shooting (which are too assertive for a sidekick), but stealthily, perhaps by masquerading as a mule or hiding in a keg or rum, or by otherwise taking advantage of his hopelessly second-rate stature to sneak past the bad guys and help his friends.<\/p>\n<p>The kind of sidekicks was George Hayes, who had made a fortune as an actor playing all sorts of roles on stage and in movies in the 1920s, after which he retires. However, he lost his money in the stock market crash of 1929, so he was forced to return to the screen to earn a living. At first Hayes played bad guys in cowboy movies, but in 1036 he hit his stride as \u201cWindy Halliday,\u201d hopalong Cassidy\u2019s colorful, irritable sidekick, who he played until 1939, when Roy Roger\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2013\/03\/gabby.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2800\" title=\"gabby\" src=\"https:\/\/equestrianinfluence.com\/horsehappenings\/files\/2013\/03\/gabby.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"283\" \/><\/a>sidekick, Gabby, a role he also played alongside leading man Bill Elliott. The definitive sidekick, Gabby Hayes- who in real life was a well-read, cultured man of the world- was an ornery, mush-mouthed, toothless cuss who frequently expressed his convictions by appending statements with the phrase, \u201cYer dern tootin\u2019!\u201d The majority of sidekicks were bewhiskered coots of the Gabby Hayes school, foremost among them Andy Clyde, who played California Carlson, Hoppys\u2019s pal, in the 1940s; Al \u201cFuzzy\u201d St. Johns who played Fuzzy Q. Jones alongside nearly every big cowboy stat in the 1940s; and Walter Brennnan, who played John Wayne\u2019s companion in <em>Red River<\/em> (1948), a crabby, toothless, lame prospector (in the company of Jimmy Stewart) in the<em> Far Country (1955), <\/em>and a crabby, toothless, lame sheriff\u2019s helper (in the company of John Wayne) in <em>Rio Bravo<\/em> (1959).
