Owen Crow Shoe is a First Nations Blackfoot Canadian actor. Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, and raised on the Piikani Nation, the actor got his start when he was 20 years old. After returning home from playing football in the CJFL for the Kamloops Broncos, Shoe’s dad Chris Crow Shoe, who was working as a background performer riding horses for AMC’s Hell On Wheels, invited him to be a horse rider as well. Since then he’s been known for his work on 2015’s The Revenant, 2017’s Tin Star and 2019’s Hudson.
Shoe can be seen on Fox’s Barkskins playing the recurring role of Atoyen. In addition, he’s recurring on Paramount’s Joe Pickett as Kyle Lensgrav. Recent credits also include Tribal, The Secret History of the Wild West, Black Summer, and Dark Cargo.

Horizon follows the 15-year span of pre-and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American west. Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is fraught with peril and intrigue from the constant onslaught of natural elements, to the interactions with the indigenous peoples who lived on the land, and the determination and at many times ruthlessness of those who sought to settle it.
