He was great in their band movie The Last Waltz, and he has done a few acting roles where he was just perfectly cast,
or did a great job of being a character like himself.

(Excerpted and fantastic) While Helm would accuse Robertson of being on a star trip, Helm, ironically,
was the more successful actor, with acclaimed roles in "Coal Miner's Daughter," ''The Right Stuff" and
other films. And no one who watched "The Last Waltz" could forget Helm's performance of "Dixie Down,"
shot mostly in closeup, his face squeezed with emotion.
