I was obsessed with American history dramas (bored with modern day dramas). McClarnon is one of the fine actors that has me watching much more modern American drama now.
Was looking for examples on process for acting class and just as I reached this, my defeated thought was "it's impossible to find an interview with a Native actor that is about process and not them needing to speak about how great it is to have Native representation in film." I mean, it's important to talk about representation, but it's a relief to see that the art can be talked about as well. Thank you very much!
Yes, indeed, as Zahn says, "People are hungry for it." I know I am. I'm writing this after having watched the second season (don't tell anyone) four times - and loved every minute! And while the other actors are really important -- the acting by everyone has been so impressive! -- Zahn is absolutely the "star"! In reading Tony Hillerman, I had visualized Leaphorn as older and more "portly," but Zahn blew that out of the water! ❤
You are an amazing actor and an amazing man and I love Jesus Christ Superstar also. My favorite song from there which I love all the songs but my favorite one is I don't know how to love him.
I first saw him in Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. He played a small part as Cloud dancing's son. He was very young when the show came out in the 90s. I have always loved this guy he's awesome❤
That was a really good interview, thank you! In Canada I'm hearing that term .... um can't say it on youtube., the S.A. term in unexpected places (recently in an East Indian food store). I first noticed Zahn in Fargo Season 2, watched it because it was filmed in and around my area. He gave what was a very quiet character such a big presence and personality that by the time he gets his revenge on the family he's been working for he had everyone cheering and on his side. To imbue and build out from movement and expression is a lot harder than using words, and the sign of a great actor (IMHO)
A’HO, I met Janice Black Elk in early 1980 when I was visiting her sister Jean Black Elk in Colorado. I watched her do her magic, making beautiful beaded necklaces and matching earrings on Jean‘s dining room table. It was such an honor to watch the young artist at work. I am so glad that she has come so far along with her partner. I wish I could have seen the artworks mentioned in this audio session. Wado

Zane is one wonderful man. His advice to young people could not be said better. Great interview! I was impressed with the interviewer, as well. She knows how to bring out the best in her guest and lets him speak.
I love Zahn, I first saw him on Longmire. I hated that Longmire was canceled just as we were beginning to see the layers of Officer Mathias peeling away and find out what made him tick. I recently finished watching Dark Winds, I thought the storyline was great and I was left wanting to see more. I would love to see a Prime Time television sitcom about a Native American Family, why not? If they used Indigenous writers I believe it would be awesome 😎
An extremely gifted actor who has dedicated decades to his art. It always shows just like his natural kindness and empathy for other people. He is a wonderful example for young people, of all heritages, who offers honest advice, and shows them a man can be successful without being one dimensional. Like him, I too am glad he stuck with acting because he deserves this time of opportunity in acting for Native Americans ... instead of the old, tired stereotype of "dying in front of teepees" ... I almost laughed myself hoarse on that line. Spot on. I am glad his work is being recognized and truly disappointed he was not nominated for Akecheta. But, I feel strongly he will garner more accolades in his future. It was lovely to hear him talk about his Uncle Moose. Lovelier still he shares that uncle love with others. He is so a mischievous "shitass" and a truly wonderful human being. His mother must be incredibly proud.
