Clinch Leatherwood

Clinch Leatherwood is the main antagonist of the 2014 film A Million Ways to Die in the West. He is portrayed by Liam Neeson.

In the movie
Clinch is a dreaded outlaw and the husband of Anna, who befriends and begins a relationship with Albert Stark. After one of Clinch's henchmen sees Anna kissing Albert, Clinch begins to hunt Albert down. Having failed to kill Albert, he instead decided to capture Anna as bait for Albert to confront him, which does make Albert come to go fight him.

During the show down, Albert shoots Clinch in the arm and he is initially unfazed, but dies soon after when it is revealed that the bullet was tipped with poison.

Albert then sends his condolences to Anna for having killed her husband. Anna however obviously answers that she is glad that Albert freed her from Clinch but ironically claims that rather than how badly Clinch mistreated and threatened her, their marriage would have failed anyways because of religious beliefs (Clinch was a Methodist and Anna is Jewish).
