Benicio played his prodigy with the film full of high action and psychological thrills. 41:45 He both directed and starred in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, a film set on the border between Texas and Mexico and highlights the friendship between two ranch hands -- one Mexican, one Texan. Actress January Jones admitted that off-screen, he is a lot more genuine than people think. 42:05 SOT January Jones "It was very endearing. Everyone thinks Tommy Lee is such a gruff, like, cowboy, which he is, but he is so tender and full of emotion and just a wonderful teddy bear."
