I am so glad to finally find out about this fine actor. He was awesome in “the Seachers”. I thought I never would find out his name and I have been looking for a long time.

My husband’s favorite film is The Searchers, and a big part of it is because of Hank. He’s a fine actor, indeed.

Hank Worden was Tex Ritter’s sidekick in the movie Headin For The Rio Grande around 1937. Hank played a more serious character here except when he got upset when Tex sang Blood On The Saddle,but very different from later movies. Juan Valadez Sept. 8 2011

Hank Worden was a true gentle man of the old school. His acting parts were very understated yet quality with a degree of humility which made him a legend of the small screen.
Mostly a supporting actor but his appearance on screen led you to believe and enhance any production.
Once seen, never forgotten! His like will never be seen again.

I always enjoyed seeing him in a lot of John Wayne films. Never knew Hank’s name. A lot of the time he was the quiet gentleman & the comic relief
