Οι πιο γνωστοί ρόλοι που ερμήνευσε, ήταν αυτός του Ληστή Καλβέρα στη ταινία Και οι επτά ήταν υπέροχοι και του Τουκό Ραμίρεζ " ο Άσχημος" στην ταινία Ο καλός, ο κακός και ο άσχημος. Έιχε λάβει το Βραβείο Έμμυ Ζώνης Υψηλής Τηλεθέασης Καλύτερου Β' ανδρικού ρόλου σε δραματική σειρά, και το 2010 του απονεμηθεί το Τιμητικό Όσκαρ της Αμερικανικής Ακαδημίας Κινηματογραφικών Τεχνών και Επιστημών για την συνολική προσφορά του στον κινηματογράφο.
