I'm thrilled to present an interview with one of the great character actors of our time,

Barry Corbin.

He's approaching his 40th year as a film and TV actor, and this past April of 2018, he

was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy and Western

Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.

The MC for that ceremony was his old friend Sam Elliott.

Barry's credits are way, way too long to list, but I sat down with him to talk about a

few classics.

First, he embodied the man in the myth of Charlie Goodnight, the famous Texas cattleman,

in the one man played by Andy Wilkinson called Charlie Goodnight's Last Night.

Goodnight and his partner Oliver Loving were the core inspirations for the characters

of Woodrow F. Call and Augustus McCray in Lerimic Mertres all-time great novel Lonesome

Dove.

And of course, Barry Corbin played the role of Roscoe Brown in the Epic TV miniseries.

He'll tell some stories of the making of the film, as well as his memories of filming

another movie in the same area, but one that could not have been more opposite, though

it also starred Tommy Lee Jones.

That one was no country for old men.

You can currently see Barry as a guest on the show The Ranch on Netflix, and in a whole

host of upcoming movies.

I met him at his home in Fort Worth, which is basically a shrine to the Old West.

And here's an amazing nugget.
