  • LONESOME DOVE is THE Classic Western. Period! It stands the test of time, can be watched over and over and over again and always seems fresh and exciting. The Pulitzer Prize winning novel needed the scope of a 4-night canvas instead of a 2 hour movie. Those four nights of western adventure with Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones and others in the all star cast turned LONESOME DOVE into a giant success. Everything about the production worked! The cast, the script, the direction, cinematography, music, costumes, period detail brought every moment to life. Veteran actor Barry Corbin made an indelible impression as the wandering Roscoe Brown. Barry has appeared in over 300 films and TV shows, including 110 episodes as one of the stars of NORTHERN EXPOSURE. He can do it all...and does! As a storyteller, he's one of the best. His memories of working on LONESOME DOVE are both thoughtful and hysterical. Not only has he worked multiple times with Tommy Lee Jones as an actor, Barry's been directed by the Oscar and Emmy winner, too, and shares stories of what it was like. He even had time to share some of the adventures he had during his time on ANGER MANAGEMENT with Charlie Sheen. On January 12, 2014, the always entertaining Barry Corbin was one of our first guests at A WORD ON WESTERNS' Tribute to LONESOME DOVE, taped in the Autry Museum restaurant! Thanks, Barry. This is the full interview done that day. Thanks again, Barry. We want more stories!!

    Barry Corbin: One of my favorite actors who never fails to give a great performance. I liked him in the movie SHORT TIME, in WAR GAMES, and in an episode of COLUMBO. He could play heavies, light comedy, drama, and inspirational roles - he is a jack of all acting roles and a master of all of them too. I understand at 82 he still rides horses daily!

    I love Barry Corbin's accent. Everything I've ever seen him in he sounds the same so it must be his natural speech. He's one of those guys that's been in so much stuff you forget how much. I had forgotten about anger management. I thought he was perfect for the part in the ranch. When he was doing the closer I had forgotten about so many of the western themed shows. I was watching a Tom Selleck show recently and heard Corbin's voice and knew immediately who it was. Wonderful body of work he's done.

      If you come from Arkansas, Oklahoma, or East Texas that never goes away. That does not keep one from learning what I call NBC English. Funny thing, though, is that people from other places never get it right. Nor they really know the people. Glen Campbell when he was acting in t
      True Grit was asked to read some lines but demurred. The director was from Southern California. Glen told him that if anyone living in that time and place had uttered those words to there other character that there would be no back and forth. The other gun would at least haul off and hit him and maybe with a board if that was handy.
