<v Speaker 1>am that.

19
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Is awesome, incredible honor to embody that.

20
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about this project. And I see it's

21
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio of That Fella, A whole

22
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:03.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of great people that are involved in this. Let's

23
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about how you got involved in a little bit

24
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>about the program.

25
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.680
<v Speaker 3>I got a call actually from a friend of mine,

26
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 3>one of the producers, Larry Poolier, asked if I'd be

27
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 3>willing to throw my name in the hat for Sitting Bowl,

28
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 3>And he said, hear my choice, and I graciously said yes.

29
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 3>Just an honor to be chosen and get to portray

30
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 3>such an iconic individual.

31
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>Now, I remember, you know, I grew up in South Dakota.

32
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I live in Sioux Falls now, but I grew up

33
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>in Huron. I remember when Dances with Wolves came out

34
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 1>and it was filmed in South Dakota, and what a

35
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>big deal that was and still is for our state.

36
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 1>And I'm watching that and I see this guy by

37
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the name of Michael Spears on there. And that was

38
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>your first movie, wasn't it.

39
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it was so many, many many moons ago.

40
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>What was that like, going from you know, never doing

41
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a movie at all to being a part of one

42
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of the biggest movies of all time.

43
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.079
<v Speaker 3>Tremendous gratitude. I'm just so thankful that I was able

44
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 3>to do that. I give all my praise and thanks

45
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>to my dad who helped me get the open casting

46
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 3>call through the audition process, and the inspiration, you know

47
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 3>is my dad, my grandplace, my grandma.

48
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>And the thing that's fascinating again when you look back,

49
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 1>that was the end of the eighties. That was a

50
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>long time ago.

51
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was made in eighty nine and ninety and

52
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 3>came out in ninety.

53
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>One, and all these years later when you watch that movie,

54
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>first of all, it still holds up. It's still fantastic,

55
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.759
<v Speaker 1>But then look at all of the people that were

56
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>a part of that that have gone on to do

57
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>some pretty good things. Kevin Costner, you know, Michael Spears,

58
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>you guys had a chance. Your worlds have crossed a

59
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>few times again because in the same universe nineteen twenty

60
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>three and eighteen eighty three, you've had a chance to

61
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>work on those projects all tied to Taylor Shared and

62
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>so again, I just think it's a really cool thing

63
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>that that started way back when it started, and now

64
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, you've had a chance to so many amazing

65
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:47.599
<v Speaker 1>things since then as well.

66
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, getting a chance to work alongside uncle Kevin, you know,

67
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 3>he got to work with my younger brother Eddie, who's

68
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 3>also an actor, my son Noah, who got to play

69
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 3>on the contemporary second season of Yellowstone And you know,

70
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 3>just being on set and getting to reunite with.

71
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>Kevin was awesome. It was a lot of years.

72
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 3>We did actually a twenty year retrospect in Aberdeen, South Dakota,

73
00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 3>quite a few years ago. Now, it's just tremendous how

74
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 3>well the film still holds up. Yeah, and those memories

75
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 3>I always hold deer still.

76
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

77
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, got my start there.

78
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>Well again, the new project that you're on is on

79
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 1>tonight on the History Channel, Sitting Bowl. And as you

80
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>were putting this together and had a chance to be

81
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a part of this, are there things that you learned

82
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 1>about Sitting Bull or did you know most of the

83
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>stuff that we're going to discover on TV tonight.

84
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.919
<v Speaker 3>The things that I learned was more and more of

85
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 3>the nuance, more and more of you, like.

86
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:42.879
<v Speaker 2>His favorite song.

87
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.159
<v Speaker 3>I got to learn putting myself in his moccasin, so

88
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.360
<v Speaker 3>to speak, was was the learning process and getting to

89
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>actually visualize and be a part of, you know, the

90
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 3>battle scenes and feel, you know, in essence what he

91
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 3>felt ultimately being a martyr, you know, killed and respected.

92
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.719
<v Speaker 2>By his own people at the same time. Yeah, that

93
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.400
