Career history

Factor appeared in numerous TV commercials before he became a professional actor. He came into the limelight after appearing in Hulu's Reservation Dogs, which aired between 2021 and September 2023.
According to Lane Factor’s Instagram post, he was proud of being part of the cast. The actor was the youngest member of the Reservation Dogs crew. So, he learned a lot from his senior co-stars and directors, and they also helped him overcome his anxiety.
Reservation Dogs is an Indigenous American television series created by Taika Waititi and Sterlin Harjo. The comedy show follows the exploits of four native American teenagers fighting crimes in rural eastern Oklahoma.

The main characters of Reservation Dogs are Elora Danan (Devery Jacobs), Bear Smallhil (D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), and Cheese Williams (Lane Factor).
Cheese is always calm, relaxed, and in touch with his feelings. Moreover, the teenager has a long list of people and things he is grateful for. After Daniel kills himself, the teenager gives an affectionate speech expressing anger and pain.
Lane Factor loved Cheese for exuding earnest sincerity. He also deeply connected with his character because both teenagers were still growing. For instance, his voice began lowering when they filmed the pilot and changed entirely within six months. He also grew taller by the end of Season 1.
Nonetheless, everything wasn't rosy on set for the young actor since this was his first TV role. They had to pitch his voice a bit so it wouldn't sound so different, and he also had to learn how to get into character from D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai.
In addition to that, it took a while for Lane to master how to cry on command. Now, the actor can easily squeeze out one or two crocodile tears on set whenever he is required to do so.
Factor did not expect to be in the final season of Reservation Dogs until Sterlin surprised him on his birthday (at 8:30 p.m.) over a call. Initially, he thought it was a happy birthday call.
What are Lane Factor's movies and TV shows?
Besides the Reservation Dogs TV series, Lane Factor has also appeared in The Fabelmans (2022) and Ghosts. He felt honored to have worked with Steven Spielberg on The Fabelmans. They even worked one-on-one in one of the scenes Spielberg shot.
Besides acting, Lane is conversant with creating short movies and animations. The American actor has recorded live streams for the local community high school football games.
