Sometimes we watch a movie and enjoy the onscreen action and other times, we watch actors play themselves over and over. If we like them, that’s fine and we can’t get enough of their performances. Then there are those special moments of creative brilliance, when an actor transforms into the character they play so convincingly, that we no longer see the actor.

Cowboys and Westerns are the heart of Arizona. A long list of movies have been shot here in our state, such as Tombstone. This time we're talking with an actor that was in the classic movie Lonesome Dove.

Who is your favorite cowboy actor?

Many of mine are from the movie Tombstone. Even though Dennis Quaid did a tremendous job as Doc Holliday in the movie, Wyatt Earp, my vote goes for Val Kilmer in Tombstone, Michael Biehn, Sam Elliott, and Kurt Russell. Both Dana Delany and Michael Biehn (Johnny Ringo) said Val had the heart and soul of Doc.

Lonesome Dove - a show that captured our hearts and satisfied the desire for adventure. This is the story of two Texas Rangers that retire in the quiet town of Lonesome Dove, where they plan to stay put and enjoy their golden years.

When an old friend comes to town and tells them about how much money can be made cattle ranching in Montana, everything changes.
