Biography

Rodney Arnold Grant (* 9. März 1959 in der Pine-Ridge-Reservation, South Dakota, USA) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler, der große Bekanntheit in der Rolle des „Wind in seinem Haar“ im Film Der mit dem Wolf tanzt erlangte.

Der Angehörige des Stammes der Omaha wurde mit seinen vier älteren Geschwistern von seinen Großeltern aufgezogen und wuchs in Thurston County (Nebraska) auf. Nach einer kurzen sechsmonatigen Dienstzeit bei den US-Marines und sechs Jahre als Reservist hatte er im Jahr 1988 in dem Film Die jungen Krieger sein Debüt. Seitdem spielte er in verschiedenen Filmen und Fernsehserien, so in Ein Mountie in Chicago oder Stargate – Kommando SG-1.

1990 hatte er seine bisher größte Rolle als „Wind in seinem Haar“ in Der mit dem Wolf tanzt. Bei den Dreharbeiten hatte Grant große Schwierigkeiten, die Sprache der Lakota zu lernen. Um nicht gänzlich aus dem Film geschnitten zu werden beziehungsweise als reine Komparsenrolle zu enden, nahm er zusätzliche Stunden mit dem Casting-Director des Films.
