Best Answer

John Wayne's first movie appearance was not in a western.

He is first seen in the movie "Brown of Harvard" in 1926; in which he plays a football player and has no speaking part.

His first Western role was in "The Big Trail" (1930) but his breakout role was nine years later in John Ford's "Stagecoach" (1939), the movie which made him a box-office star. When the TV series "Gunsmoke" premiered on TV in 1955, Wayne introduced James Arness in the starring role. (see related link)
