Sam Elliott, famous for his many roles in Western films, recently filmed a campaign ad for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
Donald Trump would probably tell you that anyone who is a real cowboy will be voting Republican in the fall. Sam Elliott, however, is perhaps the last great celebrated cowboy actor in Hollywood. Elliott is backing Harris in a new ad that came out this week.
In the spot, the gravelly-voiced actor begins, “I can’t believe we’re having this conversation again. So here we go. You know who the candidates are. You know what’s at stake. One candidate promises a divided America filled with lies and hate, and one stands for change."
The video continued with Elliott telling voters, "Kamala Harris has more courage, more honor, more guts than this guy ever had. So you decide: Are we really going back down that same f‑‑‑ing broken road? Or are we moving forward towards hope, towards freedom, towards change?"
The Lincoln Project produced ad closed with the actor urging:
"There’s promise that lies in change, and the time for change is now. So what the hell are you waiting for? Because if it’s the woman thing, it’s time to get over that. It’s time for hope, for change. It’s time to be a man and vote for a woman."
