Sheree J. Wilson on making a sequel (and prequel) to Easy Rider

TVC 731.4: TV Confidential commemorates the recent passing of Chuck Norris by bringing you an encore of our conversation with actress and producer Sheree J. Wilson ( Dallas, Walker: Texas Ranger ). At the time we spoke to Sheree in September 2013, she had just produced and starred Easy Rider: The Ride Back , a sequel (and prequel) to the groundbreaking cult classic that explores the lineage of Wyatt "Captain America" Williams while also remaining true to the core values and basic themes of the original 1969 film. Easy Rider: The Ride Back is available for viewing on demand through Amazon Prime. Topics include a brief history of the various lawsuits over the previous few decades that had prevented a sequel to Easy Rider from being made; how Larry Hagman was originally set to play "Wild Bill Hickok" Williams in Easy Rider: The Ride Back , but had to pull out of the project because of litigation that delayed the start of production for three years; plus Sheree shares a few memories of working with Hagman, Patrick Duffy, and director Michael Preece on Dallas.
