Interview with Richard Cutting ("Creed Logan")
1. Are you a fan of Westerns, and what is your favorite Western film ?
I am more of a film noir fan, but I've always liked the laconic heros in the great Westerns. They can be very noir-like sometimes. I guess The Searchers is a favorite, and Wayne Shipley turned me on to Will Penny where Heston does such a great job playing the gruff loner. Glenn Ford's pretty creepy and fun in the original 3:10 To Yuma too. . .
2. How did your involvement in Come Hell Or High Water come about ?
Wayne had been doing some test shooting for the film for about six months or so, and I think I first read for it around then. I was shooting a few other films at the time, and I figured that if I didn't hear from him as the weather turned to summer, that he'd fully cast the film. As June of 2007 rolled around I got a call from him asking if I'd want to do the role of Creed, a part I hadn't read for. He liked my prior read, and just cast me without my reading for Creed, which was a very flattering act of confidence in me. I was happy to do it, as Creed is a manipulative baddy and a well-written part. I started "cowboy camp" later that week and we began shooting in the fall.
3. How much did you know about cowboys and the West when you began working on Come Hell Or High Water ?
Let me start by saying I was born in New York City, and while I could tell which end of a horse you didn't want to stand near, I didn't know a halter from a handsaw. I had to learn all that stuff from scratch. It was a lot of fun. You can imagine piling up your desk every night with cowboy books, Western stuff and the lore of the range - it was like being a kid again. Gave me great respect for the men and women who settled our country and eked it out on the fringe of nature often in violent confrontation with each other and nature. I knew I was hooked when I looked up one day and found myself idling over a webpage selling Colt Single Action Army revolvers. When you get around cowboy and Wild West lovers its quite an infectious thing. The Single-Action Shooter people are a whole lot of fun.
4. What was Creed Logan, your character about, how did you find this character ?
We've all met guys like Creed before. Hard done by. Feels the world owes him something. Not that he's not willing to work for it, but that he should probably get all the marbles for any work he does do. And not one to let ethics impede his progress. A hard realist, his eyes glaze over when Gatewood waxes honorable about dispatching Curry. Creed is all business. He wants the girl and to take over Gatewood Freight. If Gatewood would let him shoot Curry in the back and dump the body, Logan would be all for it. He is a Iago, a very capable lieutenant who easily rationalizes heinous acts to get what he wants. But his obvious ruthlessness undercuts any benefits his loyalty actually accrues. No one fully trusts him. He is self-defeating and at some level he knows it. Never quite able to genteel-up his ambitions. His insecurities don't let him escape this neurotic cycle. Its lethal for him in the end.

Kelly Potchak as "Catherine Curry"
5. How did you like riding horses for the film ?
You put a dime in the thing and they rock back and forth. That was my previous experience with horses. Which was nada. So Wayne's wife Patty took us into the riding ring every Monday night and patiently gave us the basics. Then we'd head up to the farm house, another area of the set, and Cowboy Bob would put us on another horse and tell us, "Hell son, just get out there and ride 'em !" Afterwards, Patty would cook a great meal for what seemed like a hundred people, and that was what we called "Cowboy Camp." I have spoken with many Come Hell Or High Water alumni, and everybody misses cowboy camp. That kind of fun is usually very expensive or illegal.
With the horseback riding, I was dressed for it, so mostly I faked it until it felt more natural. But in the end I liked it. I never got to the point of believing I could know what a horse was thinking, or would do next, like a lot of people who ride all the time seem to do. Horses still seem like big dogs to me. I'd like to keep up with riding. Its a very primeval thing. Satisfying.
Again, to think of your horse as your primary means of transportation while you're trying to get all your other stuff done in the wilds of the West still blows my mind. Those frontier people were awesome.
6. Was there a particularly funny moment on the set of Come Hell Or High Water ?
Funny ? Hmmm, well there was one freaky moment that was kind of funny after the fact, yes. One day Wayne Fletcher, the Armorer for the film, came to set with a box full of six shooters. And of course we all wanted in on a few rounds because they are such a kick to shoot. So Wayne sets up a big tree stump as a target and we all step up one-by-one to try and hit it from 75 feet or so. We were horrible shots, but the smoke and bang was a gas. These were live rounds of course.
Well, one of us, I forget who, took his turn, and as he took the weapon from Wayne, he did one of those twirl it around your finger numbers. It was insane - everyone immediately ducked for cover and scattered. Because those triggers are much more sensitive than they seem and that twirly thing can actually very easily discharge the weapon. I was next and I was amazed at how only the slightest pressure to the trigger made it go off. We all just looked around and kind of smiled after that. Very respectful of the Single Action.
7. How did you like working with Wayne Shipley and the other actors on Come Hell Or High Water ?
Wayne Shipley is a very intelligent and likable guy who has a special skill of putting everyone at ease no matter what he is asking them to do. HIs wife Patty is marvelous and patient. They set the tone, and this was a great set.
We had all kinds of people in the cast and crew. Lawyers, teachers and real rodeo guys, to classically-trained actors, IT people, real estate salesmen and musicians. So together Wayne had gathered this eclectic band of nuts and made a really good Western shot almost completely in Maryland with an all local area cast. I loved working on this picture. Mark Redfield is a joy to act with because he gives you a lot to work off of in a scene, and Jennifer Rouse brings a smoldering something to her work that really plays in this film.

Often people would hang around after work and talk movies, talk shop, eat Patty's hot dogs and corn bread and generally fool around. It was a great work environment. This is one of those sets where you will find people who will stay in touch for life because of the experience.
Wayne makes it look easy. A smart Studio producer should give him lots of money to do another one. No one knows the Western like Wayne. He's a very steady hand.
