I have seen many of Adam Beach's films and am proud of his Native American Heritage. I believe that many of his fellow "brothers" and "sisters" of his race can succeed in whatever endeavor they set their minds and hearts on. It is always refreshing to see Adam Beach in a role he always plays so sincerely and honestly.

After seeing a few of Adam's films, I think he's a truely gifted actor. He really gets into the part he's playing. He convinces me that he's not just acting, but he's honestly that individual.
