Wesley "Wes" Studi (born December 17, 1947)
is an Native American actor.
Born in Nofire Hollow, Oklahoma, Studi was schooled on a reservation.
Until he attended grade school, he spoke only Cherokee. In 1967,
he was drafted into the Army and served 18 months in Vietnam. After
his discharge, Studi studied at Tulsa Junior College.
He is best known for his roles as both brave and vicious Indians,
in such roles as the Pawnee warrior in Dances With Wolves and as
Magua in The Last of the Mohicans. In 2002, Studi brought to life
the legendary Tony Hillerman character Lt. Joe Leaphorn, for a series
of PBS movies produced by Robert Redford.
In 2005, he portrayed a character inspired by the Powhatan warrier
Opechancanough in The New World, a 2005 Academy Award-nominated
film directed by Terrence Malick, and starring Colin Farrell. The
historical adventure is set during the founding of the Jamestown,
Virginia settlement and includes other characters inspired by historical
figures, notably Captain John Smith (Farrell) and Pocahontas. Much
the film was shot at locations in James City County and Charles
City County, not far from where the first permanent English colony
in the New World was established at Jamestown, Virginia beginning
on May 14, 1607.
In addition to acting, Studi is a stone carver, an author of two
children's books, and plays bass in a local band.
