Read the book a good while ago. 13 yr old boy gets captured by Commanches, after they slaughtered his family, learns their ways, and sickness in tribe forces him to leave, and go back to his white roots. IMHO it is as great or greater than GIANT and wondered why it never was made into a movie.
I could take him or leave him, but after seeing his western Serphim Falls I changed my opinion, damn good western, so I think, great book, good actor I"ll watch.
I just watched an old Pierce Brosnan film, Grey Owl.
It's an interesting story based upon true events about Archibald Belaney, an Englishman who becomes quite an adventurer, popular writer of nature stories, and tells people he's an Indian.
Of all the English 'accented' actors...I think I like Michael Caine, although Connery was fun to hear, too.
The amazing thing about people from Great Britain is that they always seem to put the accent on entirely the wrong syllable. It always gets my attention to hear the differences of the English language.
Archibald Belaney is buried @ Prince Albert National Park in Canada.

Me too. I used to think he was a skinny, pale fluff that women loved because he had an accent. Found out he is 6'2" and built like a linebacker. When I was watching Seraphim Falls I didn't even recognize him at first. The guy could take me apart in a barroom fight.
Sounds familiar, like a book I read as a kid, per Brad's post. But IMDB stresses very different treatment:
As to great Brit accents, and a variety of them, you can't beat Peter Sellars. A genius. Or John Cleese, also a variety. And Connery is a Scot, not English!
I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back at a party for a charity event for uterine cancer that a client of mine organized (Mr. Brosnan's first wife dies from uterine cancer). I found him to be incredibly pleasant and we had a good long discussion. The conversation really perked up when I mentioned that my favourite film of his was his western Seraphim Falls. In jest he told me that he thought I was one of about twelve people that actually saw that movie. Now I know that Bradley was also one of those, lol.
Brosnan's daughter from that marriage died from ovarian cancer, so I can see how highly invested in such a cause he could be. For the most part, I've enjoyed his career, loved him in Stephen King's "Bag of Bones", so will likely give "The Son" a chance.
I've seen him in a bunch of roles starting with Remington Steele and always thought he came across as a twit, and I always thought his portrayal of 007 was a three-way tie with Dalton and Lazenby. I still hold that opinion, however all three of their portrayals now rank above Craig's travesty, although his stint in last place will no doubt be short-lived if the rumors are true Elba will replace him.
