“When the audition notice came<br />
out for Legends & Lies I knew Brent<br />
was filming in Texas. Fortunately he<br />
made it back to Arizona in time and<br />
landed a great role in the Black Bart<br />
episode.”<br />
- Terri Jo Neff, Mamma Duck Productions<br />
FFrom horseman, to actor and model, this Iowa born cowboy<br />
considers himself an Arizonan, having lived here since his<br />
early 20’s.<br />
With a name like Brent Rock, you have got to be in films and<br />
the opportunity first presented itself while working at Old<br />
Tucson Studios, where his duties included wrangler and stunts,<br />
along with an occasional chance to be an extra. Eventually<br />
he landed a gig with the ABC TV show,Young Ridersstarring<br />
Josh Brolin and Stephen Baldwin, doing stunts and extra work<br />
before snagging a speaking role in the show’s third season.<br />
After Young Riders was cancelled, Brent concentrated more on<br />
working with horses and he eventually landed in Tombstone<br />
working at a high-end guest ranch.<br />
In 2009, he was hired as wrangler for the feature film The<br />
Gundownstarring Peter Coyote (Erin Brockovich) and Sheree<br />
J. Wilson (Walker Texas Ranger). When opportunity came<br />
knocking, Brent kicked the swinging saloon doors wide open<br />
the day Director, Dustin Riker asked him to play an enforcertype<br />
cowboy character named Slim. That turned into a chance<br />
to stunt double for lead actor William Shockley (Dr. Quinn<br />
Medicine Woman) in horse scenes and a pivotal fight scene.<br />
Since The Gundown, over the past few yearsBrent has worked<br />
as an actor, wrangler, producer or crew member on several<br />
projects, including Ambush at Dark Canyon starring country<br />
superstar Kix Brooks. He also worked onBorn Wild and A<br />
Country Christmas, both featuring Kix Brooks.<br />
In 2012, Brent was cast as mystery man Virgil Calhoun in the<br />
soon-to-be-released project Dead Men the Series (working<br />
title). With his riding and stunt experience, director Royston<br />
Innes was presented with many more options than if stunt<br />
doubles had to be used.<br />
Last fall Brent was cast in the Fox News Channel mini-series<br />
Legends & Lies produced by Bill O’Reilly. The highly rated<br />
mini-series was a project Arizona- based casting assistant Terri<br />
Jo Neff <strong>of</strong> Mama Duck Productions recommended Brent for.<br />
That led to a role this summer in a new series Blood Feuds that<br />
will premiere later this year on Discovery’s American Heroes<br />
Channel.<br />
Brent -with canine best friends Boots and Smoke- is avoiding<br />
Arizona’s hot weather and monsoons by spending the summer<br />
in Colorado. Later this year Brent will be auditioning for a<br />
series <strong>of</strong> commercials for a major Tucson business.<br />
