You know what else that interview brought back to me?
What an incredibly
physically demanding role Ennis was for Heath.
All the riding, of course. Carrying calves around in the "vet scene". Tobogganing at full speed with Michelle, falling out, landing on her and twisting her foot. The hippie rescue with its "real cowboy'ing". The fourth of July fight, yes - but even more so the Thanksgiving fight -which was very rough and where Heath accidentally broke his opponent's nose!
And the whole reunion scene has a distinctly physical look to it, too...
