JULIAN BLACK

Julian Black Antelope is a Canadian actor and stunt performer of Irish and First Nation descent. He was adopted and raised by a non-aboriginal couple. He grew up outside of Fort MacLeod near the Kainai (Blood) and Piikani Blackfoot Reserves but knew little of his native culture. After leaving home at 15, he sought out his First Nation roots. Eventually, some Blackfoot elders took him under their wings. He has been quoted as saying, “I’m half-Irish and half some kind of Indian.” He is best known for his role as Darrien Tailfeathers on the series Blackstone. He has also written, directed, produced or edited many independent short films and video documentaries including the 2019 feature Harpoon.
