“#Sam Elliott joins ‘Family Guy’ as mayor<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Welcome to the Wild Wild West.<\/p>\n

Veteran actor Sam Elliott (and his iconic brush mustache) joins the surreal world of \u201cFamily Guy\u201d this Sunday as recurring character Wild Wild West, a horseback-riding cowboy cousin of deceased Mayor Adam West, played by the real-life \u201cBatman\u201d star who died in 2017.<\/a><\/p>\n

In his introductory episode (9:30 p.m. on Fox), Wild is recruited by Peter (Seth MacFarlane) to run for mayor of Quahog against local librarian Elle Hitler.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy daughter has been a fan of [\u2018Family Guy\u2019] for a number of years, and it\u2019s because of her that I\u2019ve seen a lot of episodes,\u201d says Elliott, 76. \u201cTo be honest, I don\u2019t wait up every week to watch, but I\u2019ve certainly been aware [of the series<\/a>]. You\u2019ve got to be living in a hole somewhere \u2026 There\u2019s no escaping \u2018Family Guy.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of super-intelligent, nice people that produce this and a few friends of mine looked at me and said, \u2018Really? You\u2019re gonna do that<\/em>?’\u201d Elliott says. \u201cThey just don\u2019t get [the show]. My contribution is pretty much playing myself \u2026 It\u2019s not like they wanted me to come up with a straight \u2018character\u2019 voice, so to speak. I\u2019m leaning on the southwestern thing a little bit. Beyond that, I\u2019m playing it fairly straight and letting the jokes take care of themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an old saying, \u2018If it ain\u2019t on the page, it ain\u2019t on the stage,\u2019 and I\u2019ve always been a believer in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam Elliott plays Wild Wild West in Sunday\u2019s episode of \u201cFamily Guy.\u201d<\/span>Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Elliott is no stranger to voiceover work; his honeyed, Western-tinged tones grace a variety of commercials (including Coors beer and Ram Trucks) and he snared a 2013 Emmy nomination for playing a (claymation) version of himself on \u201cRobot Chicken,\u201d the long-running Adult Swim animated series co-created by Seth Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what really started this,\u201d he says. \u201cIt started a lot of things in my life and for my career. I ended up getting a couple of other films [because of \u2018Robot Chicken\u2019] and I did a film with Lily Tomlin [\u2018Grandma\u2019 in 2015] because of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He says that, when he was app<\/a>roached about joining \u201cFamily Guy,\u201d producers wanted him to play himself. \u201cI wasn\u2019t interested in doing that,\u201d he says. \u201cAdam [West] had done that and he did it in spades, and that was like a bridge too far for me. I couldn\u2019t imagine being [myself] week after week.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo they kicked it around and came back with this brilliant idea for Wild Wild West that I couldn\u2019t say no to,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting filling that void, shoes I would never even think about filling \u2026 I had to be somebody else \u2014 and I\u2019m grateful I happen to be a relative of Adam\u2019s now.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And, while \u201cFamily Guy\u201d often ventures into risqu\u00e9 territory, Elliott says there was one scene where he balked a bit at a few lines of dialogue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have a certain amount of integrity, and if it\u2019s distasteful, no thanks,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s a sequence where [Wild] talks about his background, what qualifies him for running for office, and he\u2019s talking about raising his [16] daughters \u2026 and there were a couple of lines that could\u2019ve been taken absolutely the wrong way and I had no interest in doing that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen talking to the producers they saw where I was on that and said, \u2018No problem\u2019 and they changed it \u2014 and the change ended up being funnier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elliott also gets a chance to sing in Sunday night\u2019s episode when Wild sits around a campfire and strums an acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s really me. I\u2019ve sung my entire life and my mom dragged me to sing in a cherub choir when I was 4 years old in Sacramento at the Congregational Church, and that began a lifetime of singing,\u201d he says \u2014 adding that he went to high school with the guys who formed the Kingsmen, who had a No. 1 hit in 1963 with \u201cLouie Louie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to sing with those guys at dances,\u201d he says. \u201cI wasn\u2019t a member of the band but they would back me up because we all went to the same school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a point in time where I thought my career would be in music and not in the acting game<\/a>. I never went after it,\u201d he says. \u201cI think I\u2019m a little afraid of it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
