Vera BullockA list of five star-studded Westerns that never lived up to their potential is making the rounds.
Tobias WexcombeOff the record, on a horse, those films had every ingredient. You just have to let the horse do the acting.
Vera BullockThe list says big names and big promise, then the movies fell short. What's your read?
Tobias WexcombeOff the record, on a horse, a Western is only as good as its saddle. Most of those saddles were backwards.
Vera BullockBackwards saddles.
Tobias WexcombeIndustry standard. Look it up.
Vera BullockTell us about Dust and Mercy. What's it about?
Tobias WexcombeI play a lonely sheriff who talks to his horse about taxes. It's very emotional and the horse gets a producer credit.
Vera BullockA horse with a producer credit. And you did your own riding?
Tobias WexcombeEvery gallop. Mostly. Some of the gallops. Let's talk about my spurs.
Vera BullockBut you didn't answer the question. Did you ride the horse, yes or no?
Tobias WexcombeOff the record, on a horse, a rider and a horse are really one soul, so technically the horse rode me.
Vera BullockSo is that a no?
Tobias WexcombeIt's a no. I fell off a rocking horse in a mall in nineteen ninety-nine and I never got back on.
Vera BullockThank you for telling us. And those silver spurs you keep mentioning?
Tobias WexcombeBought them online. They came with a free hat.
Vera BullockLightning round. Best Western ever made, in three words.
Tobias WexcombeAny one with a stunt double.
Vera BullockFavorite horse color?
Tobias WexcombeWhatever the double rides. Dust and Mercy opens soon, and I'm told the horse is wonderful.
