Rising star Justin Johnson Cortez joins us to talk about his portrayal of Calian, a young Apache tracker who helps Abigail Walker on her quest for justice against her husband's killer, in The CW’s Walker Independence. As this is Justin's first series regular role, he talks about some of the surprising technical aspects behind working on a series that takes place over 100 years ago, how much it means to him as a Latino Indigenous actor to take on an Indigenous role, and how his mixed heritage allowed him to connect with his character.
