Why is James Bond in Central Texas?

I follow the Irish actor Pierce Brosnan on Facebook - I have been a James Bond fan of the highest order since I was in grade school so naturally I follow all of the 007s - and for a couple of weeks now I've noticed him posting as if he was in Central Texas. Turns out he is indeed in Texas.

Well, hello Jimbo!

What mission brings 007 to these parts?

Yes, he's doing a western series for AMC. It's based on Texas author Philipp Meyer’s 2013 novel The Son.

I always thought Pierce was a good Bond who was saddled with bad scripts. He says in the documentary Everything or Nothing that after Goldeneye, it seemed like the other movies he made were a blur to him. They're a blur to the rest of us. James Bond's adventures should be distinctive each time around; you'd never confuse Dr. No with Auric Goldfinger. That's not to say this is Brosnan's fault: you sign a contract, you play the role for multiple films.

Now that he's involved in a period western miniseries, Brosnan will see how Texans do adventure.
