May 7, 2008 — Dwight Yoakam recently finished filming the movie Four Christmases in which he plays an evangelical pastor who’s dating a character portrayed by Mary Steenburgen. Acting with Mary, who’s won an Oscar and a Golden Globe award, has become a highlight for Dwight in his movie career.

"I was overjoyed to be able to work with Mary," he says. "I mean I really, really admire her and have admired her throughout her career. To be able to do the work that we did together was one of the memories that I’ll cherish always as an actor."

Four Christmases is loaded with stars, including Jon Voight, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Vince Vaughn and Tim McGraw.

With shooting on Four Christmases completed, Dwight is working this month on another film, Crank 2: High Voltage. Tim meanwhile heads back on tour on Friday with opening acts Jason Aldean and Halfway To Hazard. Tim’s band, the Dancehall Doctors, will be expanded just a bit, with the addition of the Warren Brothers. Brett and Brad Warrenn have toured with Tim as an opening act in the past. They also co-wrote his hit "If You’re Reading This."
