Brad’s Scene of the day – George Strait’s greatest moment on screen, from PURE COUNTRY (1992)!

Posted on by Bradley Crain

Kyle Chandler is a good actor. I especially enjoyed him in the TV series’ FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and BLOODLINE. But the first time I ever remember him is when he played the asshole Buddy Jackson in PURE COUNTRY. George Strait isn’t the greatest actor in the world, but his telling Buddy off at the end of the film has to be his career highlight.

Happy 60th birthday, Kyle!
