Doc West 2, a western directed by Terence Hill and financed by Italian television made use of Garett's dulcet tones, when he voiced the character Johnny "Boy" O'Leary. Starring Paul Sorvino and Ornella Muti as well as Terence Hill, the two part mini series was shown on Italian TV in September 2009 achieving second place in the ratings. DeAngelis Production and Distribution in conjunction with the Fremantle Corporation have produced a series of 22 episodes which were filmed in New Mexico. Rumour has it more are being written. Regrettably there was no part for Garett in the series.
