#indigenous actors

[threaded-in-feelings]

In my humble opinion, the next best thing to seeing Black actors steadily employed and working...Indigenous actors getting their time to shine too.

Glad to see Joshua Odjick in both The Long Walk and IT: Welcome To Derry

RIP Randolph Mantooth

Yes, I'm telling my advanced age, geriatric though I am, but this is big childhood crush #1, Randolph Mantooth portraying Johnny Gage the Los Angeles County firefighter/paramedic on Emergency. Oh sure, there were little ones like David and Shaun Cassidy, or Davey Jones, but Johnny Gage I saw every week. I think my mom tuned into the show because "Mother County" evoked a sense of family and camaraderie in those days, believe it or not, and I say this as I'm about to celebrate my 29th anniversary at my County job this week.

But Johnny Gage was the airhead and the charmer, the womanizer, the flirt, the hapless and happy go lucky guy who usually came out winning. If you've never seen the show, the L.A. County Firefighter Paramedic Program is what started the whole paramedic thing in the first place. County stations and trucks were used, the actors underwent training, it was a big deal and Emergency was a popular show.

Later on, he was still big on EMT issues and he also got involved in tribal matters, and a few years back I happened upon a youtube video where he joined another tribal elder to talk about emergency preparedness on the reservation. They listed him as a Seminole elder, but he's also part Cherokee and German from his bio. He was 80 years old when he passed yesterday.

Anyway, someone from my formative years. There's one oldhead that I absolutely dread the day he passes. He of the kiss of all kisses. But not yet, hopefully. Not yet.

Graham Greene's cameo in one of my fave mini-series, Skinwalkers (dir. Chris Eyre - opposite Wes Studi & Adam Beach - aka the first adaptation of Tony Hillerman's detective books set on the Navajo/Diné reservation)

Blunt is as charming as ever as Cornelia. “She read the first script and has been with me every step of the way since,” Blick notes. “It is a performance of exquisite delicacy and strength.” It’s Chaske, though, whose work for the series is truly remarkable. “That Chaske managed to inhabit the elevated Western persona of a cinematic hero, historically the preserve of a Wayne or Lancaster, Eastwood or Newman, with all the nuance and dexterity of that inheritance and for him to do so as a Native American playing a Native American, felt pretty groundbreaking to all involved.”

‘The Quiet Place’ actor returns to television this November with a six-part drama set in the American west in the late 19th century.
