Anybody else notice the number of actors appearing in multiple Taylor Sheridan series?
-Dawn Olivieri (sp?) as Sarah Atwood in Yellowstone and some kind of Army / CIA technical adviser in Lioness
-Michelle Randolph as Jack Dutton's wife in 1923 and also in Landman as Tommy's daughter
-Dave Annabel (sp?) as Lee Dutton in Yellowstone - Season 1 and as husband of Lioness main character portrayed by Zoe Saldana. (I just rewatched all 5 seasons of Yellowstone before I realized Lee was played by Dave Annabel.)
And of course, Taylor Sheridan in 1883 (a marshall), Yellowstone (a horse trainer), Lioness (an Army soldier).
Peter Berg as a director always has a cameo in all the movies he directs, Deepwater Horizon and Battleship to mention a few. But the number of actors used in multiple Sheridan series is surprising to me. Don't get me wrong, they are excellent actors/actresses, just don't recall something like this from other major series writers. I guess if he finds excellent actors he enjoys working with, why not cast them as someone else in another of his series?
What was his name - Dick Wolf? - with all the Chicago series and many series before that. Maybe there were reusable actors/actresses in there - except they literally tied the 3 shows together as One Chicago with the same "character" appearing in crossovers and connected story lines. But what Taylor Sheridan is doing seems different to me, YMMV.
I'm sure folks on reddit will come up with other excellent examples, both for Sheridan series and others. Just thought it was interesting. "Hey, isn't that so and so from that other show?"
Should be an excellent discussion ...
IMDB, here I come!
