One day while I was building fence beside a road on a place we have in West Texas, a lady stopped and asked if I would like to be an extra in a movie being made nearby. My plan was to leave for home the next day but what she proposed sounded like fun, so I said yes mam. The movie was a prequel to Lonesome Dove, my all time favorite western movie.

I stored in for a character who was in charge of a group of Texas Rangers who were going from San Antonio to Santé Fe. My character was an ex-ship captain and an unfit leader, he was a coward.

One of these pictures depicts a scene where the bad guys set a big fire behind us good guys to make us jump off a cliff. I don’t know how old I was, but I was starting to get a little bit long in the tooth and had not run in years. In the fire scene, since my character was the biggest coward he was supposed to flee first and be the first and be faster than the others. I ran as fast as I could but the younger extras from Sal Ross College came by me in a flash.

On the third day my legs hurt so much I could hardly walk. I told the director that if there would be any running that day that he would need to get me an extra. Needless to say, there was no forth day.

    I was an extra in that movie as well. We were filming a seen where Gus and Call and that Pirate Caleb Cobb were horseback and me and some buddies were dressed up in costume, to ride for those actors. Well that Pirate had a parrot, so my buddy, Gib, had a t-shaped perch stuck down in his boot top with a stuffed parrot on top of it. The horses that movie crew weren’t the most highly trained equines, and Gib’s in particular did not seem to want to turn left. Being the outstanding horse trainer he is, Gib began to use that stuffed parrot to make the wrong thing difficult and the right thing easy! We were between takes and all watching this tune-up, when we see the Prop Master headed our way at a high trot. Gib headed him off and says, “Now look before you get yourself all worked up, I haven’t hurt this SOB at all, but he’s got to let me turn left when I’m a mind to.” The Prop guy says, “I don’t give a damn about that horse, but don’t whack with parrot again…it’s the only one I’ve got!”
