A McConaughey comes to the small screen

Unfortunately, that would be Rooster McConaughey, not Matthew.
And, fortunately, Rooster’s birth name is not Rooster (it’s Michael Patrick), he just, I guess, likes going by the name.
Anyhow, People magazine’s website reports that brother Rooster (who named his son Miller Lyte, yes, after the beer) will be featured on a new reality show on truTV (motto: Not reality. Actuality.).
The show, which premieres June 18, is Black Gold and “takes viewers inside the race to find oil in Texas. And while Rooster does not work on an oil rig, he supplies the pipes for the drills, which typically go down 10,000 feet below the earth’s surface.”
It comes from the producers of Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers.
This won’t be Rooster’s first time before the camera. He played “Tool pusher” in 1998’s The Newton Boys, which starred his brother. You know, Matthew. (Oh, and Skeet Ulrich and Ethan Hawke and Vincent D’Onofrio. Hey – I think I have to rent this film, directed by Richard Linklater.)
