Enter Reservation Dogs. Apodaca appeared in a recent episode of FX comedy, which aired on August 2. His performance drew lots of positive reviews.

For Apodaca, a role on Reservation Dogs is fitting. The TikTok star is from the Northern Arapaho nation, and his feather tattoo features prominently in his most popular video. The FX series he starred on has been praised for its accurate portrayal of modern-day Indigenous life and culture.

Every viral star has their own reaction to sudden, tenuous fame. Good on Apodaca for expanding his career while still respecting the platform that vaulted him to the top.
