Taylor Sheridan created the complete universe of Yellowstone as well as series such as Lioness and Tulsa King. He also wrote the screenplays for films like Sicario and directed himself. His name has been an integral part of the US entertainment industry today. But originally he started his career as an actor and had to put a bitter setback in his most famous role, in Sons of Anarchy.
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan terminated at Sons of Anarchy because it was not recognized his value
In the biker series Sons of Anarchy (currently in stream at Disney+ *), Taylor Sheridan embodied Deputy Sheriff David Hale, who often started with the title-giving motorcycle gang before the figure suddenly left in season 3. In an interview with Deadline, Sheridan, who had now come to Yellowstone-Ruhm, spoke about his reasons for the SOA exit three years ago:
At that time they offered me [bei Sons of Anarchy] a Salary, which I thought was very unfair. It was less than everyone else got in the series and not enough to give up my second job. My lawyer said to her lawyer: “Look, there are children at the Cartoon Network who earn more than you [Sheridan] offers. “And the guy said:” I know. And you are right that he should probably earn more. But We will no longer pay him because he is no longer worth it. It is only worth as much. There are 50 like him. He is only eleventh in the cast list. “
According to these statements, Taylor Sheridan terminated at Sons of Anarchy and was written out of the series with a “fuck-you car accident” (as he himself called THR). Today we still have to be indirectly grateful for the insult, because this is probably the only way to do this by Sheridan and pursued his modern western dreams behind the camera … which is why we have Yellowstone today.
Taylor Sheridan today: actor, director and series creator
The argument with his Yellowstone star Kevin Costner, in the course of which he wrote the actor out of the series and ended it after season 5, also showed that Sheridan has nothing to prescribe anything. Nevertheless, he cannot complain about a lack of work: his latest series Landman, whom he helped as a series creator and director, is currently flickering over the screens. Meanwhile, Yellowstone as a universe continues to grow without the main series.
