Television: Wes Studi, back with host of colorful characters for Comanch Moon mini series
Posted on Tuesday, January 15 @ 01:49:31 PST (1191 reads)
|
AUTHOR: Patrick Douglas
It's been nearly 20 years since Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones
introduced television viewers to the charismatic Texas Rangers Augustus
"Gus" McCrae and Woodrow F. Call.
Based on the characters featured in the Larry McMurtry novel of the same
name, 1989's "Lonesome Dove" set the standard for the TV miniseries. His
prequel to that classic tale is "Comanche Moon." It promises to spark a
similar reaction from viewers when the first of three parts airs Sunday on
CBS.
With an all-star cast that includes Val Kilmer, Karl Urban and Steve Zahn,
"Comanche Moon" also features the superb acting talent of Wes Studi, who
plays the role of Comanche leader Buffalo Hump.

Television: Joe Leaphorn is not his old self but Tony Hillerman is happy With 'Skinwalkers'

KEYWORDS: Tony Hillerman novels Joe Leaphorn Indian movies made for television movies Robert Redford Jamie Redford director Chris Eyre Indian actor Wes Studi indian actor Noah Watts Skinwalkers Navajo medicine men television movie made for TV movie Navajo roots Navajo culture Navajos officer Jim Chee actor Adam Beach actress Sheila Tousey Cheyenne-Arapaho ancestry Native American culture
SOURCE: The Associated Press
The Navajo police lieutenant from 14 Tony Hillerman novels has been altered for television. But his creator is pleased with what he sees.
Wes Studi, who plays Leaphorn in ``Skinwalkers'' as the new PBS' ``Mystery'' season gets under way Sunday (9 p.m. EST), must share credit for the novelist's pleasure with director Chris Eyre and writer Jamie Redford, son of Robert Redford (who's the executive producer).
Instead of the wise, patient and culturally sensitive sleuth of literature, the Leaphorn of the first U.S.-set episode of the previously all-British ``Mystery'' series is redrawn as a grouchy urban cop who has lost touch with his Navajo roots and returns to the reservation with his ailing wife.
