William Grant Bain – John E. Gaston

Bain, who has worked in stage and screen, brings a personal connection to the

project—he is a direct descendant of John William Smith, the man who delivered

the call for reinforcements from the Alamo.

“This story is in my blood,” Bain says. “The chance to portray a character whose

decisions shaped our history, and to do so where it happened, is both an honor

and a responsibility.”
