Today on part two of our interview with Brendan Wayne on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we talk to The Mandalorian (literally) about growing up the grandson of acting giant John Wayne. We also get into Brendan’s own acting career in films like Cowboys and Aliens and CSI before he took the lead role of The Mandalorian on the Disney+ hit show. What’s it like to get into acting when your grandfather is John Wayne. Take a listen.

We also discuss more of his time growing up around his grandfather, The Duke and some of his most off-beat movies. We hear a terrific story about the film Brannigan which almost got the entire production shut down after an ill-advised explosion on the London dockyards worried authorities that the IRA had planted a bomb. Terrific stuff about the professional and the personal life of a giant of an actor, John Wayne. It’s an very up close and personal conversation about Wayne that only a family member could tell. And we hear it, right here, right now on the Rarified Heir Podcast, pilgrim. Another child of a celebrity, interviewed by a child of a celerity. Everyone has a story.
