TONY DENMAN - Mike Bronco

The principal role of smart, thoughtful teen Mike Bronco marks a new milestone in the career of Tony Denman, who previously appeared in GO!, PHYSICAL GRAFITTI, FARGO, ANGUS and the television series GOOD VS. EVIL.

Although the people of Benton gave Denman a star's welcome, he politely insisted he was an actor above all else. "I liked my character of Mike Bronco because he can rise above his background. He's a good kid who is highly intelligent, shy and a little introverted," says Denman.

"I am incredibly excited to be working on this film. I wanted this role badly and auditioned three times during my breaks from work on my series. When my manager called me, I yelled and just kept on yelling during my drive home that day. This movie is a huge break for me."
