Not to brag, but Pierce is quite well known in our area for his knowledge about the Civil War. He has worked at the State Archives helping to write highway marker signs, has been interviewed for research papers and is considered to be a "noted historian" by those who write books on the subject.
He received a telephone call a few months ago requesting that he appear in a short documentary film about Captain Philip Thurmond, the leader of independent Civil War Rangers in our area. Of course, he jumped at the chance to participate.
His role was that of a soldier guarding the house of Capt. Thurmond. Not a large part, but, hey, it's a start. He is currently working on his acceptance speech for "Best Actor" at next year's Oscar awards ceremony.

How exciting for him! Well, he deserves to be in this film if he's so knowledgeable in the matter.
