Guthrie is a multifaceted individual who has made a name for himself as an actor, filmmaker, and philanthropist. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, including the Outstanding Actor award at the Image Nation Film Festival, Best Actor and Best Live Short at the American Indian Film Festival, and Best Director at the West Coast American Indian Music Awards. The Potlatch Foundation has also honored him for his dedication to representing Native American culture with authenticity in film.
As Guthrie continues to push himself creatively, he is using his success as a platform for positive change. His most recent film, Given To Walk, is an award-winning survival story that sheds light on the unique challenges faced by Native American women on Indian reservations. The film's impact was so significant that it was screened at the White House before President Obama signed the Tribal Law and Order Act.
Guthrie has had the privilege of working with some of the most renowned artists in the industry, including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert Redford, Ed Harris, and Stanley Tucci, through the Sundance Filmmaker's Labs. He has also had the opportunity to mentor others, working with the American Indian Film Institute to bring medialiteracy to deprived youth on reservations across the US. Inspired by his experiences, Guthrie is now in development with multiple tribal councils from Canada, the US, and Mexico to create a series of children's shows and toy products that celebrate Native American arts, humanities, and language.
Guthrie's most notable role to date is that of Charlie Silvercloud III in Expiration Date, a film that has won over 37 awards internationally, including Best Actor. Despite his success, Guthrie remains humble and grounded, crediting his love for his wife and two children for his continued creative growth and development. He currently resides and works in Los Angeles.
