Dwight Yoakam was slated to play the part of the villain in the upcoming film ‘The Lone Ranger,’ but he has just walked away from the role due to conflicts in his schedule. The film — which has a celebrity cast of Johnny Depp as the American Indian Tonto, Armie Hammer as the Lone Ranger and Tom Wilkinson as the evil railroad tycoon Latham Cole — will still go on without him.

Kix Brooks will portray Union General Winfield Scott Hancock in a HBO mini-series about the civil war.   Dwight Yoakum and Rascal Flatts will have parts too.
