As a matter of trivia, Gary Busey not only played the guitar himself in the film, but he sang all the vocals as well.

The green celebrity was quickly picked up by Hollywood agents and went on to star in the mega-hit Lethal Weapon (1987) with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. He appeared again with Danny Glover in Predator (1990). A less known film is Big Wednesday (1978), a surfing cult classic.

Busey appeared again in Under Siege (1992), who played the arch-enemy of star and aikido teacher Steven Seagal.

Most Recently, Gary Busey has surfaced as one of the contestants for the 2011 season of The Celebrity Apprentice 4 (The Apprentice 11) with Donald Trump. Busey will be competing to benefit The Center for Head Injury Services, an organization near and dear to the green celebrity.

Environmental Film Festival!

National Museum of the American Indian Hosts Environmental Film Festival —

[Mar. 13]

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian is one of the most interesting museums in downtown Washington, DC — and a pioneer cultural center that works to emphasize a lifestyle that is green. The museum staff will be hosting filmmakers Zacharias Kunuk and Ian Mauro for the U.S. première of Qapirangajuq: Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change—the world’s first Inuktitut-language documentary on the topic— Sunday, March 27, at 2 p.m. in the circular museum’s Rasmuson Theater.

According to museum workers, “this groundbreaking documentary captures the voices of those who are often overlooked in the discussion on climate change: the indigenous communities that are disproportionately affected by it. Inuit elders recall observations and customs passed down through centuries of storytelling and how their traditional ways of life are threatened by a warming Arctic. Their insight challenges mainstream accounts and reveals why climate change has become a human-rights issue for Native people.”

The new movie screening will be broadcast simultaneously online at www.isuma.tv, an independent network of Native and Inuit media, and at AmericanIndian.si.edu/webcasts. Film makes will be online and available to answer viewers questions.
