Larry Sellers In The Acting Industry

As reported by the same source, Sellers was known as a stuntman of Osage, Cherokee, and Lakota descent. He used to appear in numerous films, and TV series, including "Life Goes On," "Lightning Jack," "Wayne's World II," "Beverly Hills," "90210," "Crazy Horse," and "The Sopranos."

From all the projects he starred on, he was best known for being Cloud Dancing, a Cheyenne medicine man he portrayed on the CBS show "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," from 1993 to 1998. This also became the show where he earned his first Emmy nomination.

The Sun stated that he wanted his character to "be brought across as the representation of the real Native American both of tribal ethnicity and as a whole of the Native American peoples."

And ever since 2016, he has worked as an Osage language instructor in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. He also taught American Indian history and was a Fellow at the Newberry Library Center for the History of the American Indian, per source.

Rest In Peace, Sellers

His co-actor from the show, Jane Seymour, who played the titular role of Dr. Michaela Quinn, also recalled the late actor through her Instagram post. It read, "Larry Sellers was truly the heart and spirit of Dr. Quinn. His presence was magical, mystical, and spiritual."


"I feel so fortunate to have had all those wonderful years together. He will be missed by us all. My heart goes out to Larry's family and friends, may his memory be a blessing to us all."

His nephew also left his tribute to Seller through Twitter and said, "As his nephew, he helped me out of dark place when I was growing up. I thank him for helping me be a better person. Thank you, #larrysellers."


May his soul rest in peace.
