actor rance mcgrew, who stars in a tv series as the fictional heroic marshal of the same name, arrives late to shoot the final scenes of an episode in which his character pursues jesse james. according to the script, rance turns away from a seemingly beaten jesse, who then tries to shoot him in the back. the man playing jesse says jesse james fighting dishonorably is historically inaccurate, and asks permission to shout at rance before firing, but rance points out that shouting out a warning to a gunman who has already proven himself to be a better fighter makes no sense.
