Eugene Brave Rock is a Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) actor from Southern Alberta.
Brave Rock grew up on the Kainai Nation reserve in Alberta and attended the Plains Indian Cultural Survival School in Calgary, where he landed his first role in a play.
Fast Forward to 2024 and Brave Rock has landed roles in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Heartland, Blackstone, Klondike and Hell on Wheels and stunt work in The Revenant.
When The Revenant began filming in Alberta, Brave Rock and his brother were recruited to train native stuntmen; it was during this time he was contacted by the producers of Wonder Woman, who invited him to audition for a role. Though Brave Rock was not confident of his audition, he was cast in the film a month later.
