I grew up about 45 minutes south of Memphis in Sardis. Memphis was my stomping grounds, especially when I got into high school because I was playing music all that time. I graduated from North Panola High School in 1966, and went to Ole Miss on a music scholarship.
When I was seven years old! The first time I was on TV was when I was 7. My sister and I danced the bop to Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” on a local competition show that came on Saturdays in Memphis, and we won it. That sort of lit my fire for entertaining crowds. I was already learning to play guitar, and by the time I was 12, me and some other guys...
Coup de Grace, a short film I’m in, recently won the Best Narrative Short at the Oxford Film Festival, and I’m just tickled to death about that. And there’s several features that I’ve been in over the last two years or so that haven’t come out yet. I’m working on one right now with some very dear friends. Mike Mayhall is the director and writer of ...
The most surprising thing to me is the collaboration aspect of it. Being in bands was always a collaboration. Same thing in the rodeo business. I was a horseback announcer. I was the first one out, I’m like Johnny Carsonon a horse, introducing all the athletes and sponsors. I had to have a good relationship with everybody. To see that same kind of ...
Charlie Daniels. We got pretty close back in the ‘70s. I got to play at the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam in Nashville, which was one of the biggest rock ‘n’ roll shows in the country. I remember I was standing backstage fixing to go on, and Charlie’s standing next to me just watching the acts. And I look out and at those 15 to 20 thousand screamin...
I think there’s something about living in the south. I noticed it in the music business for sure, playing all over the country and even in Europe, they love people from the south because they love to hear us talk. And everybody loves southern charm. I’ve had producers and directors remind me, “OK, Cotton, you’ve got the lines. Now give me the charm...
My favorite would be getting to work on The Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, that whole great cast. Now I didn’t get to know them like we were old buds or anything, but enough to have a good time where we knew each others’ names. And I had just got off working on Free State of Jones with Matthew McConaughey, and he was the sam...
I think getting a job as a production assistant is the best place to start. Or try the program at Hinds. Any time I do any kind of project where I can bring people in, I’ll call Hinds first. Every graduating class they have some guys that are really serious about what they want to do. I brought a guy out this past week. Talk about a hustler! I said...
I hope we can continue to grow where we can rival New Orleans and Atlanta. And then even L.A. People like coming here. The people that come here are always going to be good ambassadors when they leave. I think that’s almost a given. I think the movie business is one of the very best ways to erase some of the misgivings that people have about Missis...
