John Scott owns a sprawling ranch near the foothills of Calgary. He supplies all the horses used on Heartland, and knows many big name stars in the film industry, like Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood.
Dozens of big name westerns were filmed there.
Imagine John calls Amber & offers her the role of Sheriff Maggie Riley, in a new western soon to begin filming at John's ranch. Amber listens as John describes the plot & Amber's character......
Sheriff Riley is a 31 year old pretty girl, with long blond hair, who loves order & cleanliness. She prides herself on a crime free town.
It wasn't always that way, but Maggie has worked hard in 3 years to make Trent, Montana, a safe & booming mountain town. Maggie always dresses pretty like, but hates wearing a dress.
Every young man in town dreams of kissing the Sheriff, but is terrified of her too.
Amber is interested, she knows how to shoot a gun & track animals for miles. She visits with John for almost an hour; accepts the job on one condition.......
She wants her longtime friend Graham Wardle to star in the movie too.
John knows & respects Graham and quickly agrees.
Amber asks what roles were available......for Graham to portray.
John lists the typical characters associated with an
1880's western......
Ferrier, shop keeper, saloon owner, and bartender, doctor, deputy, poker players, a few bad guys who constantly cause trouble, and an outlaw who runs the Fox Creek cattle rustling gang.
Tell me more about the outlaw; Amber asks.
John grins and replies.....Tymont Reed, is a 33 year old, handsome as hell, .....hell raiser who is very good at stealing cattle & driving them up into Canada to sell. And every woman in town, stops & stares, when Tymont rides into town. He shaves twice a week & has an eye for pretty girls in long dresses.
He rarely bathes, and can smell a lawman from 5 miles away.
What about a law-woman?? Amber asks with a laugh.
John smiles & contiues....... Tymont's Colt 45 reportedly can shoot a barrette right out of a woman's pony tail at 100 yards.
Tymont.........Amber smiles & says; that's a handsome name!!
I'll call Graham & ask him; Amber volunteers.
John, what role do you see Graham playing??
Oh, that's up to you Amber.........
