Loren Anthony was nearly banned from work in Hollywood after he walked off an Adam Sandler film, but he and other Native actors are making new gains.
It wasn’t that long ago that Navajo actor Loren Anthony faced the threat that he wouldn't find work in Hollywood after he and several other Indigenous actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler film.
Seven years later, not only is he still booking jobs as an actor, but he is also coaching and managing other Native actors and preparing to produce a short film.Demeaning people in film is 'bullying' With his background in helping youth, as well as elders, Anthony spends his time coaching and managing other aspiring Indigenous actors who also have dreams of the big screen. And instead of dealing with stereotypical and misrepresentation of Indigenous people in scripts like"The Ridiculous 6," Anthony finished writing his first screenplay for a short film he plans to produce alongside fellow Navajo actor Ryan Begay, who will direct the film.
A United States Air Force veteran, Begay has been an actor since 2011, but his path to the movie industry began after he took a video production class at the Colorado Film School in Denver. He later transferred and completed his fine arts degree in new media art from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe.
The 2022 report examined 407 scripted broadcast, cable and digital platform television shows from the 2020-21 season. It reported that 2% of actors on broadcast scripted shows were Native, with lower numbers on cable and streaming shows. The share was once again lower for film roles. “People were talking about this stuff and I wanted to experience it for myself,” said Begay. “It's important to stand your ground on things, and that's why I did 'The Lone Ranger.' You go through the whole assembly line of making Indians. Of course, they can have a cultural advisor that they're not listening to, but they are there just to say they have one. That’s the reality of it.
Begay said"Dark Winds" interested him because he wanted to “see where they were at” in terms of Native inclusion and Navajo portrayal. He said they did try to involve the Navajo perspective by bringing Navajo and other Indigenous writers on board, adding that certain little things could’ve been improved on but has high hopes for the second season.
