As with his Yellowstone characters, Taylor Sheridan can be tricky to pin down. To some, Sheridan is a storyteller for populist masses unimpressed by prestige television, whose profitability makes him a hot commodity in Hollywood. To others, he’s a controlling TV producer with questionable casting practices, worse writing, and an ego the size of Dutton Ranch.

On his way to cable TV dominance, Sheridan has certainly rankled viewers, critics, and even actors. He even had a legal tussle with one of his Yellowstone stars, whose name — surprise, surprise — is not Kevin Costner.
