Graham Greene.
'Longmire' came up in a thread. The good "cowboy" series on Old Peoples t.v. Longmire being an AMC and then netflix series. Graham Greene is a native or indigenous individual who was raised somewhere in Canada. He plays Malichi in Longmire.
So, I was watching the show this evening and was so impressed with the acting (and good directing) that I looked up some of the actors. They are all good actors with a history of playing good parts. Greene was Kicking Bird in Dances with Wolves. He played in The Green Mile (Arlen Bitterbuck, the guy who gets the chair), he was in Die Hard with a vengeance. Lou Diamond Phillips suggested that he try out for Longmire.
-he stated that being at the Academy Award ceremony was difficult. "I was scared to death. I thought, I don?t belong here! I?m just a poor, dumb country boy," and he was particularly intimidated by the other actors that surrounded him. "I?m in awe of good actors.-
OK, it's not Shakespeare but the guy is down to earth and made a career of acting when he didn't even want to.
-He told Jay, "Look, I?m not interested. We?ll cut cards. If I win, leave me alone. If you win, I?ll do the damn thing." After drawing a two of clubs, he relented-
Not the first time history has been made drawing cards. One of our mtn. communities is named for a card hand. Showlow or show-low. A couple of Mormon ranchers drew hands and the low card won. Some land exchanged hands. There is a statue.
Look up Longmire, there's a ton a people who have played in that series. A few of them you know. Before children got to make movies where real people got killed.
