Initially working for the
Fox Film Corporation
, he appeared mostly in small bit parts. His first leading role came in
Raoul Walsh
's
The Big Trail
(1930), which led to leading roles in numerous
B movies
throughout the 1930s, many of them in the
Western
genre.
Wayne's career took off in 1939, with
John Ford
's
Stagecoach
making him an instant star. He went on to star in 142 pictures. Biographer Ronald Davis said, "John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage. Eighty-three of his movies were Westerns, and in them he played cowboys, cavalrymen, and unconquerable loners extracted from the Republic's central creation myth."

Wayne's other well-known Western roles include a cattleman driving his herd north on the
Chisholm Trail
in
Red River
(1948), a
Civil War
