Paramount+ series "1923" continues the resurgence of Westerns, with stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren leading the cast. Filming took place in rugged Montana landscapes and on location in Kenya, where real animals were used alongside CGI. Actor Brandon Sklenar, who plays Spencer Dutton, had a close encounter with elephants while feeding them, prompting warnings not to run. Despite the scare, he appreciated the beauty of the elephants. Co-star Julia Schlaepfer also developed an appreciation for horses during the Cowboy Camp the cast attended.
