Chaz Lee Awarded the Spirit of the Old West
Alive Trophy October 12, 2012
October 5, 2012, Phoenix, Arizona –
Chaz
Lee is being awarded the Spirit of the
Old West Alive Award in Phoenix, Arizona at
the Herberger Theatre on October 12, 2012.
He will be the 55th recipient of
this award placing him among an elite group
of individuals who by their work or actions
help to keep the spirit of the old west
alive.
As much as we love
the "American Old West" the very
things we love about it are disappearing
every day. That's why capturing the stories
of the old west, straight from the "People
Who Have Kept the Spirit of the Old West
Alive" is an important project.
“Friends in the hospitality industry tell me
people come here looking for the old west
experience and it is harder to find anything
authentic anymore,” says Spirit of the Old
West Alive (SOWA) founder LeeAnn Sharpe.
“Those of us who grew up with Gene and Roy
want to hold on to the memories and the
experiences of cowboy hats, boots and six
guns. We want to have horses and the code of
the west in our lives. Spirit of the Old
West Alive honors those who help us hold on
to those experiences a little longer in this
fast paced modern world.”
Chaz Lee
the star and
producer of the only full-length feature
western to be filmed exclusively in Arizona,
Copper Wind, as well as leader of Six Gun Entertainment, LLC,
exhibits the traits SOWA wishes to honor. He
has the courage and determination to dress
and act the part of the old west cowboy
businessman. His actions bring to life a
world of western history we all enjoy
watching and being a part of if only for a
few hours of entertainment each weekend.
Lee’s extensive film and television and
theater credits include:
Aroused Tension; Tombstone; Escape from LA; Junkyard Cartel; Lee
performs as the lead outlaw for Six Gun
Justice Gunfighters, a division of Six Gun
Entertainment, LLC; he also has performed
with Detour Company Theatre as a singing
cowboy. Lee was the front man/singer for
Leeway, a rock and roll musical act, and
portrayed Wild Bill Hickok, among many other
historical characters, during his time as a
stuntman at Old Tucson Studios. He also
worked with the famous Arizona Roughriders.
Lee received his training at The Acting
Studio in Denver, Colo.
His key experience is in American drama,
improvisational theatre, scene study, script
analysis and he has studied under the
guidance of Sir William Smith. In addition
to his experience as a stunt professional
for which he has choreographed high falls,
roof rolls, gunfights, stage fights, stunt
driving, Lee designed stage combat with
fellow stuntmen using crossbows, hand guns,
rifle and knives, Lee also is recognized for
his poetry, song lyric, short story and
screen play writing.
Chas Lee brings the Wild West back to life
with a fistful of vengeance. That is why we
present him with the Spirit of the Old West
Alive Award.
