“Happy Trails!”
Earl Watters
A veteran comedy gunfighter in Tombstone, Arizona, he brings more than 20 years of experience as an actor, stunt performer, and expert gun spinner. Formerly with the New Mexico Gunfighters, he blends sharp timing, showmanship, and Old West humor into every performance. When he’s not on Allen Street entertaining crowds, he’s a 30-year Chinook helicopter pilot, flying firefighting missions across the world. A true modern-day gunslinger with a world-class story on the ground and in the air.
Wayne Crews
Wayne Crews AKA Lefty, AKA The Wayniac, hails from Hollywood, CA. After spending most of his adult life working in Hollywood teaching acting classes and working film productions, behind and in front of the Camera, Wayne left Tinseltown for the Wild West. Training with the Hollywood combat center and working with the Jim Henson Disney group prepared Wayne for entertaining our Tombstone tourist. You will find Wayne on the dusty streets of Tombstone toting a wise cracking puppet and a six gun while keeping the West alive!
Craig Hensley
Craig Hensley has been performing for stage and screen all across the country for more than 40 years, from Shakespeare & Co to Playhouse West, and numerous venues in between, including Paper Mill Playhouse, Off-Broadway, and the first and second National Tours of Les Miserables. Recent film credits include “Far Haven” with Bailey Chase and “Breaker’s Law” with Neal McDonough. His skillful portrayal of Mr. Potato Head in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade when first starting out remains a highlight of his career!
Chris Burns
A New Trail Ridden
For over three decades, this cowboy’s spurs were wires and circuits—serving as an electrical engineer back in Ohio. But the spirit of the frontier ran deep, kept alive through 26 years of dedicated service to the Scouting program, from local troops to the national stage, and as a devoted Youth Pastor.
Now retired and settled in the dusty streets of Tombstone, he’s traded in blueprints for the open range. Living a simple, authentic life, he’s found his true calling: entertaining and sharing the spirit of the Old West with visitors.
From the wiring harness to the horse harness, he’s enjoying the ride!
Pamela Summers
Pamela Summers AKA The Cimarron Rose has been performing for only a short while on our Old Tombstone stage but she brings professionalism and a Carol Burnett vibe to the goofy and lovable Minor character. When not performing at our gunfight theater, Pam dresses up in Saloon girl attire and entertains the guests in our Pancho’s Cantina!
Andy Maldonado
Andy Maldonado, but most folks around here just call him “The San Antonio Kid.” As a professional actor and Gunslinger, Andy has lived and breathed the history of the West, and he’s ready to share it with you. For years he has perfected his craft while performing for the good folks of Virginia City, Nevada. Now, settled in Tombstone, Andy plays all scripted characters while bringing smiles to our tourists on the Old Tombstone stage.
