Amy Nicholson, The Guardian; Forrest Goodluck: the Native American actor ripping up the rulebook
"Not bad for a boy from Albuquerque, New Mexico who started his career on
an inauspicious stage. In fifth grade, Goodluck spent a month writing
down every line in A Charlie Brown Christmas so he could direct it at
his small school, a former mental hospital with two dingy spotlights in
the basement and a stack of rusty metal folding chairs. “I didn’t know
about copyright,” says Goodluck, but he did have a beagle who could play
Snoopy. His Charlie Brown dropped out a week before the show, so
Goodluck stepped into the lead role."
