In His Blood
Some actors just have a natural air about playing certain characters so well. When it comes to Sam Elliott, it makes sense that he plays the cowboy persona so well. His roots have actually been traced back to the old west. Elliott said, “I have a heritage from the West.
My family had a relative in the Alamo. I’ve got history to Texas… It is because of that I always hearken to [western roles], that family heritage.”
Not Just An Actor
While we all know that Elliott has dominated with his incredible acting skills, there’s more to him. He has also worked on producing, writing and singing, believe it or not. One such example of his singing is in the animated film, Barnyard.
He plays the character of “Ben the Cow” and sings in the track called, “I Won’t Back Down.”
