Josh Brolin OF OUTER RANGE ON PRIME VIDEO Q: I enjoyed seeing Josh Brolin host “Saturday Night Live” recently. Has he ever had a TV series of his own? A: That March appearance – which was meant to promote his presence in the movie “Dune: Part Two” – actually was the third time that James Brolin’s fellow-actor son hosted the NBC late-night staple. Having the popular Ariana Grande as the episode’s musical guest surely was a boost in terms of viewership. Though Brolin’s work principally has been in feature films, he was a television-series regular in several instances early in his career. Not long after he made his movie debut in the enduringly popular “The Goonies” in 1985, he co-starred in the short-lived NBC drama “Private Eye” (1987-88). He then had a longer run as the young Wild Bill Hickok in the ABC Western “The Young Riders,” which lasted three seasons (1989-92) and currently can be found in the On Demand lineup for the MGM+ cable channel. Brolin’s next series was “Winnetka Road,” a 1994 interpersonal NBC drama that lasted only five episodes (a sixth was produced but never aired). He would return yet again to NBC briefly in 2003 in the title role of “Mister Sterling,” a drama about a U.S. senator that was created by Lawrence O’Donnell, the MSNBC personality who then used his personal experience from working for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Lately, Brolin – who also narrated the 2012 documentary series “Mankind: The Story of All of Us” – has starred in “Outer Range,” a combination of science-fiction and Western that currently is in its second season on Prime Video. Imogen Poots and Lili Taylor are among his fellow cast regulars.
