Actor Stephen Rider attended the Harley And The Davidsons launch party at the Thunder Tower West Harley Davidson store in Atlanta GA. He spoke exclusively to Tall Boy about how he got the role, what made his character different, & why people should watch the 3 part series.
Based on a true story, “Harley and the Davidsons” charts the birth of this iconic bike during a time of great social and technological change beginning at the turn of the 20th century. Walter, Arthur and Bill risked their entire fortune and livelihood to launch the budding enterprise. Each of these men faced very different challenges, but it was the motorcycle that united their dreams and ambitions. Walter, Arthur, and Bill cemented Harley-Davidson’s reputation as a builder of bikes that go anywhere, can ride hard and ignore all the rules. It’s a legacy that has endured over 100 years – and at the heart of the brand and its loyal riders.
Harley and the Davidsons is set to premiere on Monday, September 5, with its first two-hour installment. Two additional two-hour installments will air over the next two nights, Tuesday, Sept. 6, and Wednesday, Sept. 7 on the Discovery Channel.
Rider was discovered by Denzel Washington in a play in 2006, and Washington brought him into his 2007 biographical drama film The Great Debaters, which was Rider’s feature film debut.[1]
