Default William Holden? Where??

I recognized Lee Van Cleef and Ernie Borgnine-but where was Bill Holden in the Wild Bunch foto shown? I know he was "holdin'" a Sten in "The Bridge On The River Kwai" and later a Joystick in "The bridges Of To-Ko-Ree" - what a great job he did in any movie- if it wasn't for Bogie, Holden was my favorite action part actor until Steve McQueen came along--

I admit I did not recognize him either (maybe the hat and 'stache interfere). I looked through Borgnine's filmography and found The Wild Bunch and then read a bit about the making of the film. Holden is the "badass" (Pike Bishop) of the gang. In the pic he is next to Borgnine. Here's another similar pic.
