Old Mose from THE SEARCHERS was my roommate! Why did DEADWOOD’s Jim Beaver bunk with Hank Worden?

How did actor, author, and film buff Jim Beaver end up spending several years in the home of veteran actor from the John Ford/John Wayne stock company Hank Worden? Find out in this fascinating conversation with Beaver and Rob Word as they discuss Beaver’s love of George Reeves, John Wayne, Groucho, and how Beaver’s cult character on DEADWOOD, “Whitney Ellsworth,” ended up with the same name as the producer of the classic series THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN.
Jim’s western credits include GERONIMO: AN AMERICAN LEGEND, BAD GIRLS, DESPERADO, WARDEN OF RED ROCK, EL DIABLO, THE LEGEND OF HELL’S GATE, GUNFIGHT AT SILVER CREEK, two GUNSMOKE movies with James Arness, and TV series PARADISE, THE YOUNG RIDERS and THE RANCH.
Film buff extraordinaire Jim has written scripts for TOUR OF DUTY, ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS (1985), essays for FILMS IN REVIEW and a biography of John Garfield.
This conversation also delves into the unusual character crossover of Beaver’s demon hunter “Bobby Singer” on the long running hit, SUPERNATURAL and the new series THE BOYS.
Recorded on location at The Autry Museum, July 19, 2022.
