- Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) Kurt Russell's Wyatt Earp isn't just front and center throughout the events of Tombstone, he's often the most interesting character on the screen not named Doc Holliday.
- Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) Doc Holiday, who is played masterfully in Tombstone by an in-his-prime Val Kilmer, is often considered the best character in the whole movie, and those people who think that wouldn't be wrong.
- Virgil Earp (Sam Elliott) Virgil Earp, played here by Sam Elliott and his legendary mustache, is the oldest and wisest of the Earp brothers and appoints himself the marshal of Tombstone, a decision that brings more trouble to the small town.
- Morgan Earp (Bill Paxton) Not to be outdone by older brothers, Morgan Earp, portrayed by the late, great Bill Paxton, is right there in thick of it throughout much of Tombstone, including the famous shootout at the O.K.
- Kurt Russell (Wyatt Earp) First, a brief kudos: without Kurt Russell, there’s a good chance Tombstone doesn’t get finished. When Kevin Jarre was removed as the original director of the movie, George P. Cosmatos took his place, but Kurt Russell was often the creative force behind the production.

- Val Kilmer Says Kurt Russell Is Responsible For Tombstone's Success. It has long been reported that Kurt Russell is not merely the star of Tombstone but also its secret director.
- Willem Dafoe Was Initially Sought To Play Doc Holliday. It's hard to imagine anyone other than Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone. He gives arguably the performance of his career in the Western; there are still folks claiming he was robbed of his Oscar.
- Kurt Russell Cut Some Of His Own Scenes To Earn The Trust Of His Fellow Actors. During the early days of shooting Tombstone, screenwriter Kevin Jarre (Glory) was also on-board as the director.
- Billy Bob Thornton Completely Ad-Libbed His Scene. While Kevin Jarre was very particular about his screenplay, as we noted, Kurt Russell and the remaining team involved with Tombstone made some big changes throughout the rest of production.
Billy Clanton : Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double.
