You've seen Wes Studi, you just may not know it. Here's the article about his award: https://oklahoman.com/article/...and-qorianka-kilcher This bio is easier to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wes_Studi I remember the scene in "Heat" when he loads a pump shotgun like he does it all day long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGym1iVaWoY | ||

Solid actor getting some long-due recognition. I surely haven't seen him in everything he's done, but everything I've seen him in, he performs along with the best. His performance in Heat was perfect. Same with Dances With Wolves, a film I loved when I was young that I feel differently about the message of now, but he was absolutely fearsome in his role. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Well deserved. He should have been nominated for The Last of the Mohicans. Vietnam Vet, too. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Always admired him as an actor. First picture in my mind is Studi as a Pawnee in “Dances With Wolves.” _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

His portrayal of "Magua" (or however you spell it) in Last/Mohicans was one of the 10 greatest villain roles of all time. As far as drama goes, there is none better (ESPECIALLY the last 5-10 minutes of the 'Promontory Chase' where nobody really speaks. I also enjoyed him in Street Fighter (as the one-eyed crime boss, Sagat) and in Mystery Men as the "Blue Sphynx." These last two showed me he could take a goofy role and excel in it.

You're mixing up a couple of characters from Mystery Men. The Blue Raja was Hank Azaria's character. Wes Studi was the Sphinx. He's terribly mysterious. I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up. - Charlie Brooker | |||

Congratulations Wes! "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley | |||

Well deserved! I only saw him in Dances With Wolves, The Last of the Mohicans, and Hostiles...thought he did a REALLY great job in all three. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
