1997 – Tackling More Historical Drama in Rough Riders
Elliott was part of yet another historical project. In this occasion, the project was Rough Riders, in which he played the part of Captain Bucky O’Neil. Here, we see him with his wife Katharine attending the premiere of the miniseries. The project received critical acclaim.
It also did better with the public than his second project for the year. Dog Watch was released directly on the video. In the film, Sam played a cop who killed the man who killed his partner. Within a sea of anxiety, further investigations would show that things were not as they seemed.
