John Wayne has this to say about his movie star persona. I kinda like him for being so honest about this kind of thing. Most people just fake it and keep on faking it until they forget they're faking.
"When I started, I knew I was no actor and I went to work on this Wayne thing. It was as deliberate a projection as you'll ever see. I figured I needed a gimmick, so I dreamed up the drawl, the squint and a way of moving meant to suggest that I wasn't looking for trouble but would just as soon throw a bottle at your head as not. I practiced in front of a mirror."
