Bailey Chase is on his way to shoot a campaign commercial. But don’t misunderstand: He’s not really a politician. He just plays one — sort of — on television.

... Cowboys & Indians: What do you think are the most important things you discovered about Branch Connally during season one?
Bailey Chase: "Well, the thing to remember is, my character is the only main character who’s not established in the books. And so I had some questions coming in to the series about who this guy was. I just wanted him to be able to be his own man, and not just a one-note bad guy or adversary.

And I’m really happy where we’re picking up in season two, right where we left off.
Branch and Longmire are still going head to head. But, again, he’s also becoming more and more of his own man. Walt has a few years on him — and some more experience and wisdom. But I feel like Branch is closing the gap..."
