He was Hollywood’s first Western megastar & is noted as having helped define the genre for all cowboy actors to follow. SELIG POLYSCOPE: Mix began his film career as a supporting cast member with the Selig Polyscope Company. His first shoot in 1910 at their studio in the Edendale district of Los Angeles (now known as Echo Park) was Ranch Life in the Great Southwest, in which he showed his skills as a cattle wrangler.
