Smokey Bear
An uptick in forest fires spurred the U. S. Forest Service to create a campaign to raise awareness about fire safety. They worked with the American Ad Council in search of a voice over actor. They wanted their message to be sound, friendly, inviting, and most importantly, informative. Who better for the job than Sam Elliott?

Critical Of Himself
You’d think that public adoration and financial success would lead to a general sense of ease and a positive image of self-worth. But sometimes the opposite can be true. In an interview with IMDB, Elliott said that, “I think I might have been a more interesting actor, had more of a career earlier on if I had more formal preparation. When I see something ten years later that I was in I think, ‘Boy, would I love to do that over.’”
