Longtime fans of the early aughts HBO series Deadwood got quite a treat in the form of a new movie that aired on the pay network this weekend. Rock fans got an extra easter egg… a cameo from Jerry Cantrell.
Cantrell confirmed the cameo on his social media, writing:
“Snuck into a shot or two in the Deadwood movie courtesy of W. Earl Brown. Standing next to Garret Dillahunt here. I am a huge fan of the show and have become good friends with Earl and Robin Weigert (who plays Calamity Jane) over the poker table and other shenanigans. I gave Ian McShane (who plays Al Swearengen) a vinyl copy of Rainier Fog that day too. Was fun to be in the background watching the professionals do their thing. Check it out cocksuckers !”
W. Earl Brown and Alice in Chains go way back. In 2013, Brown appeared in a mockumentary Alice In Chains put out, performing as Alan Poole McLard:
