Bad guys in Westerns that Hijacked the Show

On this channel I talk about the best western actors a lot. But from time to time you need to also give some space for the black hat guy (or girl), the bad guy or villain.
So today I will take a look at those bad guys who upstaged the good guy or hero.

SHANE's top bad guy was Emile Meyer as the land baron, Riker. He is the focus of the driving dialog of the entire script, and even tries to get young Brandon De Wilde to side with him. He terrorizes the sodbusters, and it is he who sends for Jack Palance's Wilson. Meyer's Riker is the reason for the story and he's a chilling villain, but he is down at 7th in the screen credits, and all but ignored in revisits to SHANE.
