I'm going with a western accent and style to him, kinda gruff... think a hard drinking texas aggie type, or a geoscience person overseeing an oil drilling, yelling and barking out orders. So i'm looking for some suggestions or maybe some movie characters that would be perfect for getting ideas and quotes from. any ideas?

It was a soap opera, sure, but it was FULL of hard-drinking texans. Other than that, all I can think of is Bruce Willis in Armegeddon, and that's a movei better left unviewed
