With filming for Season 5 of “Longmire” now underway, some of the cast of characters are excited to be back on the set.
One of those is Lou Diamond Phillips, who plays the role of Henry, a Native American belonging to the Cheyenne tribe. It was actually the 54-year-old “La Bamba” actor who recently confirmed on Twitter that production for “Longmire” has already begun.
However, what has been giving Phillips the excitement is the fact that the episodes of Season 5 will be at least one hour long each, which is about 18 minutes longer than the episodes of the previous seasons, which stood at only 42 minutes each.
With that being said, the longer time for the popular modern-day Western thriller would enable the showrunner to shed light on some of the other key characters in the TV series for Season 5 including Lou Diamond Phillips’ character.
As every fan of “Longmire” knows, Henry Standing Bear is the closest friend of TV series main protagonist Walt Longmire and they have been working together in several of the latter’s police investigation.
The last time that Henry Standing Bear was seen in the TV series was last season where he was shown trying to help another female Cheyenne tribe member who was raped by a couple of locals.
I think it’s a bad idea to have Walt and Vic as a couple. Something is wrong with that girl. Father issues maybe.
I like the show, but for a small town they have a lot of murders
