I mentioned this in the Great Dudes in History thread but in case it gets overlooked I'll post it here too.
I want to nominate Kurt Russell as "Captain Ron" for a great Dude in History. He's like the Dude of the Islands man! He is a long-haired, oat soda drinking sea captain who literally floats through life, taking each day as it comes. When shit hits the fan he says fuck it and deals with tasks at hand without losing his cool. He digs music, partakes in coitus with island women, and helps out revolutionaries even though they may be reactionaries...

He's got some great quotes too, such as:
"Okay, let's kick the tires and light the fires!"
(to the kid who picks up his(Ron's)beer) "Hey! You want a beer you get your own beer"
"Best way to find out about a boat is to get 'er out on the ocean. Anything's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there!"
And my personal favorite- "Okay, let's tie 'er off and kick back some cold ones huh!"
If you haven't seen it before I highly recommend it, man!

I second that nomination :)
Cap'n Ron Rocked 8)
Wow I completely forgot about that movie. I definitely support this nomination.
For sure, dude! Cap'n' Ron was a GDIH. 8)(http://dudeism.com/smf/Themes/default/images/post/thumbup.gif)
Couldn't agree more! Kurt Russel in general seems like a Good Dude!
I agree. He's made some good movies, been with his special lady forever, seems cool in interviews, and hasn't been in a horrible scandal that I can remember.
Love this one, very Dude.
