For his first on-camera commercial in over 40 years, Sam Elliott is starring alongside Lil Nas X in Doritos’ 60-second Super Bowl 54 spot.

His lengthy resume includes classics like Road House and The Big Lebowski, to name just two, and in 2017 he starred in a drama about an over-the-hill Western icon, The Hero.
