Why is Sam Shepard always chewing when he is acting? 24 years ago in The Right Stuff he is chewing his way thru a movie. And, he does the same in Blackhawk Down. Did he study gum-chewing in his method-acting classes?

Anytime I've ever seen Sam Shepard in a movie his teeth look REALLY bad. I mean yellowish, rotting type decay. So he probably chews gum to help disguise the bad breath this causes.
I don't think his teeth are a problem that he caused by not taking care of his oral hygiene. He probably has bad teeth.You'd think he'd have something done about it by a dentist and/or orthodontist. But then again he always plays those rough weathered characters and maybe having bad teeth helps him get the parts.
He has a great voice and did an excellent performance as the narrator for the recent film Charlotte's Web. He's also a Pulitzer prize winning playwright and I think he's written several screenplays.
He should fix his teeth though, it's unsightly and also bad for your overall health and well being.

Maybe he was a cow in a previous life and still has to fulfill that need? Or maybe he just has bad breath paranoia.

Maybe he thinks it disguises bad breath. But it sure looks rude.

I think he used to be a smoker. Maybe he gave up one habit for another.
