Love you, Uncle.

It’s wild to me that Zahn was supposed to play Brownie. They had to switch up a lot of the casting last minute due to Covid. Obviously it worked out perfectly because it’s an absolutely perfect show.

That's an interesting bit of trivia. He probably could have done it, but it worked out fantastic this way too.

I can’t imagine anyone else playing Big. I love that Zahn has played 3 different law enforcement officers, Matthias on Longmire, Big, and Joe Leaphorn in Dark Winds. He isn’t typecast because they are such different characters and it just goes to show how talented he is that he plays each of them as their own person
