Cowboys & Indians - by JOE LEYDON

Cowboys & Indians: You’ve already had featured roles in two independent movies‚ Trailer Park of Terror and An American Carol‚ and now you have a key role in the Tough Trade TV pilot filming in Nashville, Tennessee. Have you been bit real hard by the acting bug?

Trace Adkins: [Laughs.] Well, you know, I’m not obsessed with it. It’s something that I enjoy doing. I don’t have delusions. I’m not Philip Seymour Hoffman; I’m not going to be this incredible character actor. But if it’s a role that I think I can pull off, I’ll do it.

Trace Adkins Earns CRS Artist Humanitarian Award
Country Weekly

Alabama lead singer Randy Owen greeted hundreds of country music radio programmers during Nashville’s Country Radio Seminar to present the Artist Humanitarian Award for 2010. Randy, who won the award in 2009, says that he was grateful to country radio for supporting Country Cares, a program for St. Jude Children’s Hospital that he founded nearly 20 years ago. “It gives me great pleasure to be able to introduce the winner of the Humanitarian Award this year. I personally wish I could sing like he can, and I wish that I had run into a couple of songs that he’s had—Trace Adkins.”

Trace himself seemed humbled by the award, joking with the radio programmers. “I just want to say that for those of you who know me as well as my wife and other people, you know that I do truly deserve this simply because I’ve never killed anybody,” he joked, setting off a round of laughter in the conference room. “I would now like to announce my retirement,” he laughed.
