LEAD. The legendary gunfighter they call the Destroying Angel. Long hair and a full, long beard he never cuts — that's the legend, and his armor. Quiet, dangerous, dryly funny. Loyal to the death. (Real long hair/beard a huge plus; must be willing to wear a wig/beard piece if not.) (See attached examples)
LEAD. An Eastern newspaper journalist who rides a thousand miles to interview a legend. Educated, stubborn, fearless with a notebook — a fish out of water who refuses to drown. Smart comic timing a must.
A young deputy in way over his head. Earnest, terrified, and holding it together with both hands. He has seen something he can't unsee and isn't sure he'll ever be the same.
Stagecoach driver. Sun-scorched, cheerful, whistles while he works kinda guy. Comic role with real heart.
A face like tanned leather and a storyteller's twinkle. He knows the Rockwell legend well..
Works the saloon. Dry, unhurried, unimpressed by everyone. Scottish/Irish/English accent. Small role, big flavor.
(See Image)— Tall, broad build. Our creature rider — seen in haunting slow motion on a black horse, face hidden behind a skull mask. No dialogue; all presence. Experienced horseback rider required. Stunt/physical role.
Featured body role. Must be comfortable lying still and wearing stage blood. Brief screen time, unforgettable image.
Period faces welcome — beards, character faces, real people.
