Chaske Spencer knows Virgil First Raise
“I know this guy. I grew up on the Rez… maybe they’re older or younger… or even one of my good friends… in some ways he’s turned into this guy… a lot of things going on in his life, but there’s nothing going on at the same time. That’s his existence. And that’s how I see Virgil. For this character, I have a lifetime of research.”
