So here a bit of trivia that will make some of us feel ancient:

When Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones played, respectively, the crusty old ex-Texas Rangers, Gus and Call, in Lonesome Dove? Gristled, weathered, one-foot-in-the grave Gus and Call?

When the series aired?

Duval was all of 58 years old.

Jones was 42.

Which meant they were younger when it was filmed.
