His Favorite Role
As you could imagine, an actor of such caliber would probably have a hard time choosing which role he enjoyed most. In an interview with BUILD, he explained that he couldn’t pick one, but rather that he thinks about the cast and crew. “I think what I remember most about films are the people rather than the films themselves,” Elliott said. “I don’t think it will ever get any better than it was on this film [The Hero]. You know, this was on all sides of the camera, it was labor of love for a lot of people.”

One For One
The Hero almost instantly became fans’ favorite Sam Elliott movie. The reason was because he played the role of Lee Hayden without imperfection. What most people don’t know is that Brett Hayley, the director, had Elliott in mind while writing the screenplay. Elliott described how he felt about it, “I was totally flattered that he [Haley] and Marc would take the time to write an entire screenplay for me. I’ve had a few parts written for me over the years, but I’ve never had a screenplay written for me.”
