Some years ago there was a mini-series on one of the cable channels concerning the Texas Revolution. The producers obviously had never seen Texas, and had no clue whatsoever what the land looked like around San Jacinto, San Antonio, Goliad, or Central Texas in general. Many of their outdoor vistas looked like the backdrop was Big Bend, or somewhere down in Mexico around Monterrey. The one that had Mrs. Brewingfrog and I gasping with laughter was "Sam Houston's Camp" before San Jacinto, set among towering, bare stone mesas...
I hope one day to meet Dennis Quaid. He very nearly got to do the Texas Perfecta: Played Sam Houston, but didn't get the part for Chester Nimitz. Of course, the prize goes to a Canadian for playing all the English Heroes: Christopher Plummer got to do both Wellington and Nelson.
