Gregory Peck isn't usually mentioned in the first handful of classic Western movie stars, but he did quite a bit in the genre. Besides the four Citizen listed (Yellow Sky, The Gunfighter, The Bravados, and The Big Country) there's also Duel in the Sun (1946), Only the Valient (1951), The Stalking Moon (1968), Mackenna's Gold (1969), Shoot Out (1971), Billy Two Hats (1974), Old Gringo (1989), and he's one of the myriad stars in the widescreen epic How the West Was Won (1962).
For my money The Gunfighter and The Big Country are the best of the best, but he was a Western stalwart like Jimmy Stewart, even if they are often best remembered for dramas and comedies outside the genre.
