Horizon: An American Saga star Sam Worthing reveals who the movie’s real main character is out of the 170-person cast. Written, directed by, produced by, and starring Kevin Costner, the upcoming Western epic chronicles the lives of a handful of figures making their way West in the years before and after the American Civil War. The Horizon: An American Saga cast features a number of recognizable stars, with Worthington set to play U.S. Army Lieutenant Trent Gephart.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Worthington reveals the true lead character in Horizon: An American Saga isn’t a part played by an actor at all. According to the star, the central character in the movie is actually a town. Check out Worthington’s comment below:

“Yeah, and the main character of this is a town. That’s what it is. And the story is about this town being built from a stake in the ground that upsets all these ants, all the way up to wherever it’s going to go in the future with steam trains, and saloons. We just happened to be the color, the characters that inform this main character. So, it’s interesting to see that evolution of each set getting bigger and bigger and bolder as it progresses.”
