It captures the spirit and ruggedness of the frontier while telling a heartfelt and engaging tale. I’m honored to be part of such a talented team.”
He described Chase as a “a cowboy who is tough on the outside but has a heart full of past wounds.” He told Digtial Journal that the character lets him embrace “resilience and courage.”
Donovan’s agent, Michael Yanni, confirmed with Heavy that this movie is a big screen production that will release in the theaters.

Donovan Also Stars in ‘Reagan,” Premiering in Theaters at the End of August
Donovan is also starring in the film “Reagan” with Dennis Quaid. The movie premieres on August 30 in theaters. Donovan plays John Barletta in the movie.
In an exclusive interview with Heavy, Donovan said that he filmed his part at Reagan’s ranch outside of Santa Barbara, California, where he portrayed one of Reagan’s Secret Service agents, Barletta. He said Barletta was Reagan’s equestrian detail, so he rode horses with Quaid.
“I got a real emotional scene with him where I have to tell him we can’t ride horses anymore because of his mental deterioration,” Donovan shared. “It was a real emotional moment where I had to tell Ronald Reagan that we can’t do the one thing he loves to do anymore. … Which is all part of a true story about how it happened.”
Donovan’s also recently starred in a number of movies for Great American Family, according to IMDb. This Christmas, he’ll be in the new Great American Family movie called “A Little Women’s Christmas,” along with Jen Lilley, Laura Osnes, Jesse Hutch, Jillian Murray, Julia Reilly and Gladys Knight, according to a GAF press release.
