Jon Proudstar (Leon on Reservation Dogs)
Manage episode 345626151 series 2871708
Jon is most recently known for his work on Reservation Dogs, playing Willie Jack's dad Leon. However Jon has been in the acting business for a while and has many stories to share! What Hollywood was like when he started acting compared to now on Reservation Dogs. Also we discuss where people get it wrong about Native people when it comes to science, culture, sense of place, filmmaking.
I had fun talking to Jon it is clear he is having the time of his life right now where Native people have the opportunity to control the narrative in film/tv. This has led to opportunities from non-Native film makers to give Native actors the ability to accurately represent themselves on screen. Jon shares his experiences on his upcoming film Year of the Dog.
Last we talked about Jon's comic book Tribal Force, the long journey from the mid-90s to now and what's coming next.
Hope you all enjoy! Like, subscribe, and send me feedback.
