I've followed your career for as long as I can remember.
You've been a part of some of the most important westerns and these amazing iconic characters...
Where does John Dutton fit in that world for you?
Well, I think that illusion is because he's on a horse.
Uhm...
And he's in that setting, that you've seen me before, that is so kind of fitting.
But this is a way of life that's still going on.
This ranching, dealing with these kind of outside pressures.
That have resulted in my family being incredibly dysfunctional.
So this melodrama is set in a familiar setting for me, in a way.
Yeah, me on horseback, and you know, me moving.
And me going up against things.
But also seeing my family just dissolve right in front of my eyes.
You know, it's like... And you know, so...
It's beautiful, it's ugly, it's vulgar.
It's a lot of different things.
I.. with the first episode..
I mean, I've only seen the first of season two. And it's already pulling me in.
- Mmmhmm.
- It just seems like a character that you can really invest in.
And.. for television, does that open the world up for you?
In what sense? What do you mean?
It seems like you can do so much more with just a two-hour film.
You're really living it with this character.
- You're living with Dutton. - Right, yeah.
Well, it just depends on how smart they're gonna continue to write him.
You know, and...
And are we gonna be willing to.. uhm..
You know, acknowledge some of the things that we've opened up.
'Cause you have to deal with them.
'Cause sometimes in life, you know, it's like...
Every siren is coming for you. - Yeah.
- And we have.. there's a lot to answer for on Yellowstone.
- I feel like with you, especially with this character
you kind of walk a line of...
"Is this a good guy? Is he a bad guy?" - Yeah.
- How do you do that?
- Well, I think he is a bad guy in certain instances.
- I think that you want to like John Dutton and you do to a certain extent.
But you can't step away from things that he.. you know, has his fingerprints on.
And that's real.
But people, who behave that way, they don't think they're bad.
They don't think they're bad.
They have a code, they're living with it. And it's not my code.
You know, I play characters that I think I'm closer to.
- Yeah.
- This one is.. you know, managing.
And I think if these other forces weren't coming at him, he wouldn't be probably behaving the way he's behaving.
But you know, there's a selfish quality to what he owns and what he's gonna protect.
Is it the.. Do you think it's just a search for power? The ruthlessness with that.
- Do you think what? - It's a search for power, the ruthlessness..
- I don't think it is a search for power.
I think it's a holding onto something, that is a legacy.
And they're gonna do it how my fathers did it.
And...
But you're just running into the imaginations of living in another century.
- Yeah.
- And so.. it looks ugly.
- Yeah, and beautiful at the same time. Montana sighs. - Exactly.
