Actor Casper Van Dien talks about his character Luke in the new western ‘Guns of Redemption‘ coming to theaters and VOD.
We had the opportunity to sit down with actor Casper Van Dien (‘Starship Troopers‘, ‘Sleepy Hollow‘), who plays the role of Luke in ‘Guns of Redemption‘ . In our conversation, he shared insights into his character, his personal journey of redemption after 
over 30 years of recovery, and his thoughts on the power of storytelling in today’s independent films.
A gripping Western that blends action, suspense, and the raw intensity of the American frontier, ‘Guns of Redemption‘ is based on a story by Kieth Merrill (‘The Great American Cowboy‘, ‘Amazon‘) and Jamie R. Thompson (‘Old Henry‘, ‘97 Minutes‘). Directed by Brian Skiba (‘The Gunslinger‘, ‘Cold Deck‘, the film follows a battle-worn Civil War veteran on his quest for redemption as he attempts to rescue a young woman held captive by a dangerous group running a traveling brothel.
Produced by Jamie R. Thompson and written by Kieth Merrill, ‘Guns of Redemption‘ features an exceptional ensemble cast, including Jeff Fahey (‘Lost‘, ‘The Lawnmower Man‘), Kaitlyn Kemp (‘Fighting the Fire‘, ‘The Clock‘), Siena Bjornerud (‘The Hill‘, ‘Underdog‘), and Sean Astin (‘The Lord of the Rings‘, ‘Stranger Things‘). The film delivers a powerful mix of heart-pounding action and emotional depth, reflecting the resilience of its characters in a turbulent and unforgiving world.

A stranger known only as Luke (Casper Van Dien) is a mysterious man with a violent past. A past marked by the scars on his face and the nightmares he can’t escape.

With his life running out, he goes after the murderous General Bork (Jeff Fahey) to avenge the death of the Man of God (Sean Astin) who took him in, and saves Charlotte (Kaitlyn Kemp) and Anna (Siena Bjornerud), who are held captive in Bork’s heinous web of evil.
