Brent Rock “A lot of people don’t get to work at what they love. I’m so lucky to be able to do my horse stuff and do my acting stuff at the same time.” - Brent Rock 52
“When the audition notice came out for Legends & Lies I knew Brent was filming in Texas. Fortunately he made it back to Arizona in time and landed a great role in the Black Bart episode.” - Terri Jo Neff, Mamma Duck Productions FFrom horseman, to actor and model, this Iowa born cowboy considers himself an Arizonan, having lived here since his early 20’s. With a name like Brent Rock, you have got to be in films and the opportunity first presented itself while working at Old Tucson Studios, where his duties included wrangler and stunts, along with an occasional chance to be an extra. Eventually he landed a gig with the ABC TV show,Young Ridersstarring Josh Brolin and Stephen Baldwin, doing stunts and extra work before snagging a speaking role in the show’s third season. After Young Riders was cancelled, Brent concentrated more on working with horses and he eventually landed in Tombstone working at a high-end guest ranch. In 2009, he was hired as wrangler for the feature film The Gundownstarring Peter Coyote (Erin Brockovich) and Sheree J. Wilson (Walker Texas Ranger). When opportunity came knocking, Brent kicked the swinging saloon doors wide open the day Director, Dustin Riker asked him to play an enforcertype cowboy character named Slim. That turned into a chance to stunt double for lead actor William Shockley (Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) in horse scenes and a pivotal fight scene. Since The Gundown, over the past few yearsBrent has worked as an actor, wrangler, producer or crew member on several projects, including Ambush at Dark Canyon starring country superstar Kix Brooks. He also worked onBorn Wild and A Country Christmas, both featuring Kix Brooks. In 2012, Brent was cast as mystery man Virgil Calhoun in the soon-to-be-released project Dead Men the Series (working title). With his riding and stunt experience, director Royston Innes was presented with many more options than if stunt doubles had to be used. Last fall Brent was cast in the Fox News Channel mini-series Legends & Lies produced by Bill O’Reilly. The highly rated mini-series was a project Arizona- based casting assistant Terri Jo Neff of Mama Duck Productions recommended Brent for. That led to a role this summer in a new series Blood Feuds that will premiere later this year on Discovery’s American Heroes Channel. Brent -with canine best friends Boots and Smoke- is avoiding Arizona’s hot weather and monsoons by spending the summer in Colorado. Later this year Brent will be auditioning for a series of commercials for a major Tucson business. 53
