Doc (Cowboys & Aliens)

Doc is a supporting character in the 2011 science-fiction/western film Cowboys & Aliens.
He was portrayed by Sam Rockwell.
==Description==
He is the bartender of the little town of Absolution. He is constantly intimidated by the villagers and especially by Percy Dolarhyde. Despite this, he will prove his worth by accompanying the expedition to save his wife Maria and the people kidnapped by the Demons.
==History==
Doc appears for the first time yelling at Percy who shoots on the restaurant. The colonel's son, dumbfounded that he has to pay, belittles Doc by pulling around him and knocking his glasses off. Percy is then stopped when Jake Lonergan hits him in the crotch and Percy is taken to jail by Sheriff Taggart.
Later, Doc complains of being a painkiller and almost gets shot when the sheriff fights with Lonergan. He is also present during the raffle by the alien ships and sees his wife get taken away. As a ship is shot down, Doc yells to know if Maria is in it and groans at Meacham and panics.
The next day, despite Colonel Dolarhyde's protests, Doc joins his gang to find the captured villagers. The first evening, Meacham teaches him to shoot a rifle despite several failures. The priest then dies and Doc gives a short speech in his honor alongside Jake. 
Later, the surviving group is captured by a tribe of Apaches and Ella is brought back to life after her body is burned. She then reveals who she really is and Doc shares his worries about Maria. She says that like all the other victims, his wife is unlikely to be alive. However, thanks to Jake, they could find the Demon mothership and start a battle.
During the fight, as Woodrow is attacked by an alien, Doc shoots the creature, saving the colonel. He then reunites with his wife when the prisoners are freed by Jake and Ella. At the end of the movie, Doc seems happier and more confident than before and even seems to get along better with Percy.
