TIFF 2010 Top 10 New Faces: #5. Rod Rondeaux
Unless you were at the Venice and/or TIFF film festivals, chances are you haven’t seen Kelly Reichardt’s Meek’s Cutoff. The number five spot is reserved to someone who, I was surprised to “encounter” as the film unfolded and I would even suggest you skip over onto the next “New Face”. Pic above, is obviously not related to the pic.

Rod Rondeaux has done mostly stuntman work and played a small role in Ron Howard’s The Missing, but this is his breakout role in playing The Cayuse. He doesn’t speak one word of English, but what he does say in the native American language and the mannerisms he employs was probably meticulously researched. His gaze alone is worthy of a mention.
