            When you think of underappreciated actors, it’s hard to not mention Sam Elliot as one of the best in the business. With a voice, as distinct as Morgan Freeman and being typecast because of it, it seems that he might’ve find a perfect awards vehicle. The first trailer for The Hero showcases Elliot’s talents on full display so check it out below!

            The Hero, is somewhat not-so-subtle and tells the story of a veteran character actor, played by Elliot who is lost in life when diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Reviews out of Sundance Film Festival were sparkling saying that Elliot was fantastic. The man with the gravelly voice that many of heard in commercials for Coors Brewing Company and Dodge Ram trucks is an established and veteran character actor. Hopefully, this movie will make others understand and give him the respect and recognition he deserves.

            Check out the trailer for The Hero! The film stars Elliot, Laura Prepon, Nick Offerman, Krysten Ritter and Katharine Ross. The Hero opens in select theaters on June 9^th.
