Sebastian Roché Achieves Dream Collaboration with Harrison Ford in ‘1923’
French actor Sebastian Roché, renowned for his captivating performances, has fulfilled a long-standing aspiration by sharing the screen with Harrison Ford in the acclaimed Yellowstone prequel series, ‘1923.’ At 60 years old, Roché reflects on this incredible opportunity and attributes it to what he believes was a powerful manifestation of his ambitions.
A Passionate Pursuit
Roché’s journey toward working on ‘1923’ began with an enthusiastic phone call he made to his wife, Alicia Hannah-Kim. While she was busy filming for “Cobra Kai,” he confided in her about his deep admiration for the hit series Yellowstone and expressed a strong desire to collaborate with creator Taylor Sheridan. ”I felt that I truly had to make this happen,” he recalled.
Months later, Aubin auditioned for the role in ‘1923,’ which seemed tailor-made for him. “This fits perfectly; it’s exactly what I aspire to do,” he thought as opportunity knocked at his door. This dedication exemplified how one can manifest their dreams into reality.
The One That Got Away
Despite having worked alongside cinematic giants such as Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino, there was always one major star missing from Roché’s list: Harrison Ford. He remarked on this regret while reflecting on past collaborations but now feels incredibly fortunate that he’s finally crossed paths with Ford.
In ‘1923,’ their narratives are distinct—Roché takes on the role of Father Renaud, who oversees a Native American girls’ school while Ford portrays Jacob Dutton managing his family ranch in Montana—but Roché still considers their collaboration an achievement of monumental proportions. “Even without shared scenes,” he states confidently, “this is another dream realized.”
An Icon Meets Another Legend
Sebastian is not just thrilled about working with Harrison Ford; he’s also excited about sharing the screen with Helen Mirren, who plays Cara Dutton alongside Ford’s character. His enthusiasm echoes throughout the industry: “Who wouldn’t want to work alongside their idols?” He adds that both legends are highly engaging individuals who bring immense presence to every scene.
Roché fondly recounts an amusing encounter during press events when Ford playfully asked him if he’d been involved in any violent escapades while dressed in character attire—a quintessential moment showcasing Ford’s legendary sense of humor and charm.
Anticipation Builds for Season 2
As anticipation mounts for Season Two’s premiere scheduled for February 23rd on Paramount+, Roché expresses immense pride over contributions made during production. “Some sequences posed significant challenges,” he admits about portraying Father Renaud amid complex story arcs within season two. Although details remain under wraps concerning character developments—other than hinting at unveiling deeper layers—it promises an exploration into moral conflicts leading towards gripping climaxes that viewers will eagerly anticipate.
