Taylor Sheridan has “taken [his] beatings,” the one-man TV posse told Howard Stern on Tuesday.
Sheridan, who at this point makes pretty much every TV show your dad watches, says the “worst” of those beatings also happened to be “the greatest gift that I ever got.” The story also happens to explain why he left FX‘s hit cable series Sons of Anarchy after just two seasons.
It’s all good: Sheridan has gone on to make a few hits (to varying degrees) of his own, like Yellowstone, Tulsa King, Landman, Lioness, Mayor of Kingstown, The Madison, and Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923. He’s soon taking his television talents to NBCUniversal, where Sheridan has already set up a film deal.
But 15 years ago, when he was a mere actor, Sheridan says he made scale on the Kurt Sutter series, which was about $10,000 per episode (on a 13-episode show).
