Ed Harris does not sound satisfied with his role on “Dutton Ranch.” At the Monday night premiere of Apple TV’s “The Dink,” Harris told Variety that he felt “misled” about the importance of his role in the “Yellowstone” spinoff, and that halfway through filming Season 1, he was telling his team to “get me the fuck out of here.”
“Prior to signing on for it, I was talked to quite a bit about what the season was, and what my character was going to do — and that I was one of the four main characters,” Harris said. “And that wasn’t really the case.”
Spokespeople for Paramount, series creator Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
Harris said he expressed his discontent, but did not name Sheridan. “I said, ‘I’m feeling underused and inconsequential,’ and they kind of went, ‘Oh,'” Harris added. “I’m being told my character will have a little bit more to do [in Season 2]. I was just a little frustrated, to tell you the truth.”
