Today, he is starring in the new series “A Thousand Tomorrows”, as someone with Down Syndrome. The series currently being streamed on Pure Flix is based on a Kingsbury novel. It is about a cowboy who fell in love with a female barrel racer who faced major trials in life. Rose Reid and Colin Ford will be playing the lead roles.
“I get to work with Colin Ford,” he said. “He was my favorite actor growing up. As a kid, I watched his film “We Bought a Zoo”. … And now we’re together, working together.”
Cole will be playing the role of the cowboy’s brother who is a Christian.
“We are alike,” he said of his character, Carl Joseph. “Because I’m a Christian, and he’s a Christian as well.”
When asked about the message this series wanted to convey to its viewers, Cole said that it’s about God being with us.
“God is there for you and He will always support you to keep going in life.”
“A Thousand Tomorrows” is a series about faith, love, strength, and overcoming trials.
