Kix Brooks is making the transition from the stage to the screen, landing his first starring role in the new western film, Ambush at Dark Canyon.
"I think a lot of us grew up being fans of westerns and those old TV shows," he explains to Billboard magazine.
"It's the cowboy hat, jeans and boots, and it goes along with our music. It's that simple and honest mentality. Most westerns are basically good vs. evil, and people like watching westerns because they know that in the end, the good guy is going to get the best of them."
In addition to landing the new starring role, Brooks also serves as executive producer of the holiday film A Country Christmas, and appears in the upcoming film Thriftstore Cowboy, as well as the TV mini-series, To Appomattox, which airs in 2014.
Ambush at Dark hits Walmart and Sam's Club on January 14 and all other retailers on March 11.
