Here's a young Sam Peckinpah playing a bit part as a bank teller opposite Joel McCrea in Jacques Tourneur's Wichita (1955). I think you'll agree that Peckinpah's performance is nuanced & riveting, just like his films

Maybe Eastwood is mistaken & this was actually just a rule for TV Westerns. The only problem with that is Ida Lupino. She directed an episode of Tate* where the hero shoots someone & it's all in the same frame
