Riley Green is happy that he got his role in Marshals, but next time an acting opportunity comes around, he’s going to go about things a bit differently. The country star with multiple No. 1 Hits stays plenty busy with his music career. But like many singer-songwriters in the genre before him, Green has been intrigued by the thought of trying out an acting career. He fortunately got that opportunity thanks to his friendship with artist and actor, Luke Grimes. Riley Green and the star from Yellowstone and the new spinoff, Marshals, were apparently writing in Nashville when the “Worst Way” singer brought up acting. From then on, the actor behind Kayce Dutton helped Green every step of the way, even reading opposite of Riley when he read for his part. Green recently sat down with the Rick Burgess Show and explained how quickly he went from auditioning to acting: “I didn’t want to just go and make a musical cameo. I didn’t want to play myself. If I was going to do it, I wanted to do it. I went and read for the part on a Sunday. They called me the next day (and asked), ‘Can you get out to Utah for dress rehearsals?’ I was in the middle of a tour.” Once he got the part as “Garrett,” it was a whole new world for Green… and a bit of a headache scheduling wise. Like Riley Green said, he was in the middle of a tour whenever he squeezed in his Marshals audition. Because the acting world can’t afford to wait, the “Worst Way” singer had no choice but to work around the shooting of the Yellowstone spinoff. He explained to Burgess that he was briefly everywhere, all at once to make both his acting debut and his touring play out without a hitch: “We booked two flights a week to Utah. I would fly out on a Sunday and film Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Fly wherever the bus was on Thursday. Play Thursday, Friday, Saturday. (Fly back to Utah on Sunday). I did that for a month and a half, and it wore me out. That was in the part of the year too where we are usually slowing down, you know? Around the holidays. So it was a… I think the next thing I do in that world, I’ll make sure I carve out some time from touring to where I can really live in that space for a little while.” Yeah, maybe next time Riley Green will have a bit more of a heads up. The country music star has expressed interest in trying out some other acting roles, and there are even some rumors swirling around that he’ll return for the second season of Marshals following positive reception to his character. If Riley Green does stick to acting, he’d add his name to the impressive list of country stars before him – like Tim McGraw and Dwight Yoakam – that have juggled music and acting careers.
