Josh Brolin is Set to Narrate Untamed Americas

Oscar nominated actor Josh Brolin (Milk) has been tapped by the National Geographic Channels to narrate the four-hour miniseries Untamed Americas. Set to debut this spring, Untamed Americas explores North America, Central America and South America wildlife and was filmed over a two year period.
 
“National Geographic is an iconic brand known for its storytelling, and I am thrilled to be a part of this project,” said Brolin. “This series is absolutely breathtaking, and really inspires my passion for the great outdoors.”
 
“We could not have found a more perfect narrator for this series,” added series producer Karen Bass. “Josh really brings to life what our crew captured — the intimate, the epic and the dramatic stories of wildlife facing the extreme challenges of surviving in the Americas.”

To film the rare moments, Untamed Americas cameramen and producers rappelled down Peruvian cliffs in sea lion territory incurring bruised shins and battered heads; endured jellyfish stings in Monterey, Calif.; slipped down mud paths and stumbled through dark, dense underbrush in the Ecuadorean cloud forest; faced subzero temperatures (-22F) as well as extreme heat with 100 percent humidity; maneuvered through freak out-of-season hurricanes; lost sleeping bags (and sleep!) in 80 mph winds in Chile; gasped for breath at 15,000 feet in the Altiplano of the Andes; and were even stalked by a puma. The result: stunning footage that captures previously undocumented animal behavior and the gorgeous, wild landscapes of our Untamed Americas.
