Now…

Now: Born in 1955, Lee is now 59 years old.  He has appeared in bit parts now and then, but has basically stopped acting with any frequency.  Although, we were thrilled to see him as Sheriff Gus in 2012’s Academy Award winning film Django Unchained.  He is now the host of a hunting series on the Outdoor Life Network called “Benelli’s Dream Hunts.”  He is also the author of several western novels and does voice over work.  He has been married to wife, Stephanie, since 1980 and has two children, Logan and Amber.
