Wow...a Vietnam Vet and then all this...
Through his education, Primeaux was able to meet Michael Apted, director of the movie “Thunderheart,” who hired Primeaux as a stunt actor. This job became a gateway opportunity into Hollywood, and Primeaux moved there. He was soon cast in television shows such as “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” and the role “Indian Bob” in the TNT mini-series “Rough Riders.” He has appeared in 14 other films and has written two western novels, titled “Will Chase: The Sioux Lands” along with the soon to be released “Will Chase: The Black Hills.”
Primeaux holds two Ph.D degrees and has continued writing and studying while also advocating for fallen service members. He often shares the Four Lakota Cardinal Virtues to encourage other Veterans struggling with PTSD.
