Trace Adkins in 'The Healer'
![<span style="font-size: small;">Acting is nothing new to Trace Adkins. He appeared in The Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey earlier this year, and next you’ll see him in the supernatural thriller, The Healer. The film tells the story of twins who become lost in the forest during a camping trip with their father. Trace will play “The Truck Driver,” who transports souls headed to Hades in a big rig from which there is no escape. While acting may seem like a stretch from singing, Trace says music videos prepared him for the job. “Uh, movies are just like music videos. You sit around and wait for ‘em to set up the next shot, and light it, and all that kind of stuff. You’re there a long time but you’re not…you don’t really work that much.” The Healer is currently filming in North Carolina.</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-10/65175528-03042850.jpg "<span style="font-size: small;\">Acting is nothing new to Trace Adkins.

Protective Father and Pop Music
![<span style="font-size: small;">Trace Adkins recently admitted to CMT that, as a father, he doesn’t always approve of some of the music out there that may be sending a bad message to impressionable girls. However, there are a few younger artists he has learned to put up with around the house, and has even arranged for his daughters to meet. “Now I’ve been backstage at the Jonas Brothers, and the Cheetah Girls, and hell, everybody else. I’ve met all the rest—Jonas Brothers, did I say Jonas Brothers? Yeah. And Miley, of course, and they got to meet Taylor Swift, so I’m a hero in their world.” When it comes to his own music, Trace admits, “I don't let them listen to my music, either. But I don't make music for kids.”</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-10/65218948-05045602.jpg "<span style="font-size: small;\">Trace Adkins recently admitted to CMT that, as a father, he doesn’t always approve of some of the music out there that may be sending a bad message to impressionable girls.
