A Conversation with Wes Studi (Cherokee)

From small-town Oklahoma native to internationally acclaimed actor and musician, Wes Studi credits his passion and multi-faceted background for his powerful character portrayals that forever changed a Hollywood stereotype. Within a few years of his arrival in Hollywood, Studi caught the attention of the public in Dances with Wolves (1990). In 1992, his powerful performance as “Magua” in The Last of the Mohicans (1992) established him as one of the most compelling actors in the business.

During this special LIVE program, Studi will talk about his illustrious acting career, including his passion for bringing authenticity to his work. A Q&A will follow. Submit questions in advance to museumprograms@eiteljorg.com.
