In an exclusive interview with Heavy, Donovan said that he filmed his part at Reagan’s ranch outside of Santa Barbara, California, where he portrayed one of Reagan’s Secret Service agents, Barletta. He said Barletta was Reagan’s equestrian detail, so he rode horses with Quaid.
“I got a real emotional scene with him where I have to tell him we can’t ride horses anymore because of his mental deterioration,” Donovan shared. “It was a real emotional moment where I had to tell Ronald Reagan that we can’t do the one thing he loves to do anymore. … Which is all part of a true story about how it happened.”
Donovan’s also recently starred in a number of movies for Great American Family, according to IMDb.
