Confirmed: Riley Green To Make Acting Debut In ‘Marshals’ Alongside Luke Grimes
Today, it was officially announced that Riley Green is going to be an official cast member on Marshals, according to Variety.
Just a couple weeks or so from the premiere date of the new Kayce Dutton-focused series, Marshals, will air on CBS and is a continuation of his story beyond Yellowstone. The new show starring Luke Grimes should provide fans with everything they want and more in terms of having him back on your screen for an action-packed show.
The synopsis of the show’s first season, which will consist of 13-episodes seemingly finds Kayce Dutton got back to his violent ways because of a devastating loss that he suffered:
“With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”
Just in case you haven’t seen any of the trailers… all signs are pointing towards Kayce Dutton joining the U.S. Marshals because he loses his wife, Monica (played by Kelsey Asbille), which many Yellowstone fans are probably happy about. And in the Season One trailer, fans noticed that someone ho looked a lot like Riley Green was in a scene where you see Kayce, along with several others, hanging out around a campfire while a man with a very familiar mustache plays guitar.
Riley will appear in multiple episodes, and he will play former Navy SEAL Garrett, who arrives at the ranch, unexpectedly, hoping to lean on his friends Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) and Cal (Logan Marshall-Green) to help “put the demons of his past to rest,” Variety reports.
Riley says being on set with his friend Luke Grimes, who sort of had an inverse yet parallel journey to Riley as he is wading into the music world and has a new album coming out soon, made the whole experience that much better:
“I’m so excited to be joining the cast of ‘Marshals.’ Being on set with my buddy Luke Grimes made the experience even more memorable. This is my first go around in the acting space and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this world.”
It sounds like Riley will have a pretty substantial role, at least in this first season, and I’m sure fans will be excited to see him on their TV screens as this highly-anticipated spinoff gets underway. Riley has expressed an interest in acting in quite a few interviews over the last several months, and there’s really no better role for a first acting job than this in my humble opinion.
Grimes’ Marshals co-stars also include Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means). Brecken Merrill plays his son, Tate, while Mo Brings Plenty and Gil Birmingham portray his friends from the Broken Rock reservation.
Taylor Sheridan, David Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Spencer Hudnut, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Freidman, Greg Yaitanes and Grimes executive produce the series, which is set to premiere on Sunday, March 1st, at 9 p.m. ET on CBS, and I have to imagine tons of country music fans will be even more excited to watch now that Riley’s part of it, and likely, I have to imagine you’ll hear some of his music in the show in some capacity too.
