Gene Wilder's autobiography, "Kiss Me Like a Stranger: My Search for Love and Art", the Tommy Lillard role, played by Harrison Ford, was originally planned for John Wayne. John J. Puccio of Movie Metropolis writes that Wayne was "eager to take it on as a comic follow-up to "True Grit" and "Rooster Cogburn". Salary concerns nixed the idea, though, and it's questionable he would have finished the shooting, in any case, as he died shortly before "The Frisco Kid" opened." (Another source says Wayne did not want to make the film due to "vulgarity" in the script.) Wilder said he

Wayne made some of his most prominent films during this period, including John Ford's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) with James Stewart. Wayne's political views came under harsh attack from film critics with the release of "The Green Berets" (1968), which Wayne produced and co-directed as well as starred in. The following year, however, he would be praised by critics for his performance in "True Grit", which would earn him an Academy Award for Best Actor.

He was, of course, nervous because the part was out of his comfort zone and hadn't been specifically tailored to his screen character by one of his in-house screenwriters.
