Being a local boy and all everyone thought it was interesting he had become a big movie star, but he was more local boy than movie star and everyone who remember him as a little child called him Tommy Lee.

And they still do. When he is in San Saba no one pays any special attention to him; he is just another beat up old cowboy in a city that is full of them.
