Clint Eastwood

The "Man with No Name" concept was invented by the American distributor United Artists. Eastwood's character does have a name, and a different one in each film: "Joe", "Manco" and "Blondie", respectively.

When Clint Eastwood was honored with the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996, Jim Carrey gave the introductory speech and said: "'The Man with No Name' had no name, so we could fill in our own." In 2008, Empire chose the Man with No Name as the 33rd greatest movie character of all time.
