American actor Jonathan Joss is known for being in the Hill Kings and parks and leisure activities at the age of 59.

Jos was shot and killed, a gay hate crime his husband calls, although Texas police say there is no evidence.

Joss' extensive career spans different genres and platforms, appearing in movies, sitcoms, animations, stage works and more.

He increasingly represents Native Americans on screen. These are three great performances he will be remembered for.

In the animated sitcom King of the Hills, Joss expresses the role of John Redcorn, a Native American “licensed new era therapist” starting from season 2.

The sitcom revolves around the Hill family and is located in the fictional town of Arlen, a suburb of Texas.

Redcorn had an affair with Hank Hill neighbor Nancy Gribble in the first four seasons. Nancy's husband Dale forgot.

Redcorn, despite his flawed role, is known for his kindness and calm role and advocates for his Native American legacy.

In season 4, Redcorn reveals the ongoing battle between his tribe and the Bureau of Indian Affairs in perhaps his most famous storyline, saying he hopes to restore Native American land from the government.

Considering that Redcorn is a "real friend", Dale decided to help him with the lawsuit he filed against the government by introducing him to the Freedom of Information Act.

Redcorn permanently ended the 14-year incident with Nancy in respect of Dale. The incident was not revealed to Dell, and he was happy to go home with Nancy.

Author Dustin Tahmahkera once described Redcorn as “arguably the most developed and complex Aboriginal figure in American sitcom history, which is in the key part… Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Joss of Un…”.

Tahmahkera takes into account Native American sitcoms in his 2014 Tribal Tevervision's 2014 Tribal Tevervision, adding that the portrayal "attempts to break through the unfriendly and incredible history of Indigenous representatives."

But Redcorn is the "most human and multidimensional" Native American on screen, which is a "depressing and stark reminder of the history of Native American representatives in online TV."

The King of the Mountain was originally aired from 1997 to 2010. The sitcom is scheduled to return in August, with the characters aging and living a new life.

Joss's character on screen as Native American tribe leader Ken Hotate is a fan favorite in this live show sitcom.

The Chief's sharp dress feels matched his comedic wit and he is often seen teasing the core characters as they try to tell him whether his outspoken comments are deadly or a total joke.

Chief Hotate often meets with Leslie Knope, deputy director of the fictional city of Pawnee Parks and Recreation, to discuss the use of the land.

He often uses stereotypes related to Native Americans to play to his strengths, for example, when opposing festivals organized in ancient cemeteries, he hoped that his ancestors “don’t impose curses at events.” He "scares the curse" and he explains to the camera with his mocking tongue.

Like King of the Mountains, Joss's character is dedicated to defending tribal blood and often highlights the injustice faced by his community.

Samantha Sheppard, associate professor of film and media studies at Cornell University, said the Parks and Entertainment creators brought Joss' character to a "really witty self-awareness."

“Parks and Rec like the fact that despite the good intentions, enthusiasm, generous civil servants were Leslie Knope, and the people working in the city still existed on Indigenous lands, so they had to consider these violence and that history,” Professor Sheppard said. ”

Professor Sheppard said his role sheds light on sensitive issues in a way that makes difficult topics in the ugly American history more “accessible” with indigenous groups.

“On the screen, people express this cheeky awareness of Native American stereotypes,” she said.

“I think it really paves the way for other kinds of Indigenous storytelling.”

Joss plays a darker role, portraying the cruel Denali in 2016's The Magnificent Seven.

A group of gunmen gathered to retell the 1960s Westerners to protect the town of Rosscreek, a tycoon who hopes to mine the ground for gold.

Denali exiled from the Comanche tribe, becoming a personal assassin of the tycoon, was regarded as a shooting arrow and engaged in a battle.

“When people asked me what I thought about the movie, I told them all I knew was that my dad would like it,” Jos told Mysanantonio at the release of the movie: the news outlet in his hometown.
