Overview
- Grimes, who has played Kayce Dutton since 2018, says some viewers tell him they feel let down when they learn he is an actor and not an actual ranch hand.
- He explains his stock reply to the charge of being inauthentic, saying a real cowboy would be herding cattle instead of starring on a TV show.
- He and his wife moved from Los Angeles to Montana, and he says he now avoids bars there because run-ins with aggressive fans can escalate into confrontations.
- He shares lighter moments from home life, including his one-year-old son laughing at his oversized cowboy hat and enjoying brief visits to the Marshals set.
- He also addresses franchise evolution, noting his Kayce storyline continues on Marshals—airing Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS—while Yellowstone streams on Paramount+, and he tells Radio Times a dropped early-series “dinosaur bones” plot vanished after producer notes.
