Brendan Wayne performs his own stunts as Deputy Lyle, a key figure in the new action packed sci-fi movie “Cowboys & Aliens.”
Wayne, who says he is proud to be a Spaniard, feels that being a part of this film has helped him learn more about his Latino roots and about Mexico.
“My grandmother is from Spain,” Wayne told Fox News Latino.

“These guys took me on a journey,” Wayne said. “It was incredibly informative. I was impressed and I found out why these people are stars.”
“I got to work with people who worked with my grand dad,” Wayne added.

“Jon does a good job in creating the human condition,” Wayne said. “[He] wanted to make a classic Western. But, today you can’t make a traditional Cowboys and Indians movie.”
He added that people will love that “there was very little green screen,” used to make the thriller.
