    Wes Studi deserves far more recognition than he's ever received.

    I'm a Proud Cherokee from Jay Oklahoma and very close friends of Wes' family here and we are very proud of him. In the movie he speaks Cherokee and when my grandparents first saw the movie their face lit up and they started laughing saying, in Cherokee, they'd never thought they'd hear our tongue in a movie! They're gone now, I miss them so much, and this movie reminds me of them being so happy and proud. This is my favorite movie!

    When he said "it's about time", I think he spoke for more than the indigenous peoples, I felt that way too!, and I'm a mixed ethnicity person. I think we all recognize this. I hope that in the future more first nations peoples will be given key roles in movies!!! Hats off to Wes!🖖🤗👍💜

    I’m over the moon with truthful indigenous stories across the planet. Thank you all that have opened this door. So interesting that he was a bit intimidated by d ‘niro, and Pacino in the movie “heat”. Those two actors should have been in awe of Wes. Multi Lindquist, more mountains to climb to his success. Amazing human being with a lineage that is superior to the destructive white race. Applauding Wes Studi film producer and Oscar winning actor.

    He's great in Reservation Dogs. And for a small role in "Pow Wow Highway" , as with Graham Greene, he was funny playing that horn dog character, chasing women and looking to party.

    Wes deserved more than just one Oscar. To this day, his portrayal of Magwa in 'The Last of the Mohicans' and his character as a Pawnee in 'Dances WIth Wolves' are simply legendary. I grew up with those characters and Magwa was my favorite character in 'The Last of the Mohicans'. Being of Seneca descent myself, seeing Wes of Cherokee (Southern Iroquoian) descent portray a Wyandotte character (also Iroquoian) was very encouraging and inspiring. His mannerisms, stoicism, and comportment in those above-mentioned films made my childhood what it was.

    He was also hilarious in Mystery Men. It's a shame that movie was too far ahead of its time to find its audience, his deadpan humor was a delight for me 😆 I still haven't seen Reservation Dogs, thanks for the reminder 😁 Covid had completely detached me from the industry

    I look forward to watching more of your work Wes Studi (you were so good in Last of the Mohican -- I tasted the suffering of the First Nations, villages burned and decimated etc) -- good for me to learn and think -- intelligent acting. I want to find some good film and TV recreating the First Nation life of the Americas (and rest of the world) entirely free from European prejudice or perspective or even presence = does it exist? I'd like to be immersed in the warmth and love that is an undoubted part of the First Nation world -- is there film or TV that offers this?

    Dear Wes; My grandmother's grandmother was a full blooded Cherokee. I don't even know her name. My Grandma's name was Edith which means "valuable gift". My Grandpa was a Robertson, a Scottish descent. All Robertsons are related and Came from "Robert the Bruce". My Father, who I finally found when I was in my twenties. My Father is a full blooded Italian. He was finally glad that I was able to find him. He became a Dad and a Grandpa. All good. When he got sick, since I was a Registered Nurse, I became his caregiver. His Sister told the rest of the family that he was being treated like a King. Exceptional, Excellent care. But, I knew a lot of the Nurses that I once worked with. And, his Doctor.

    I have only ever seen Wes in 2 movies; Last of the Mohicans and Streets of Laredo. In the former he was seriously scary and in the latter as Famous Shoes, a gentle tolerant and stoic character, and the severe contrast between such characters....now that is acting. All the best to you Wes.

    Wonderful interview. Very laid back. I stumbled on hostiles by accident on dish and the name put me off because it sounded to me like it was going to be stereotypic.Apaches and Chiricahua ripping people to pieces and all this and so I didn't
    Watch it the first time it came up but changed my mind and finally did and I was swept away.
    Subtle and beautiful performances by everyone. And if you haven't watched it give some thought to it

    I'm surprised he did not mention Deep Rising I thought that movie was good as a horror movie and is underrated. It seemed scary when I was 10 yrs old and I first saw the movie. I just thought it was funny how Wes an average American man from basically the mid west plain states of America was buying and using Chinese rifles as opposed to buying American made firearms such as Remington, and Colt. 🤨🤨🤨😂😂😂
