What Taylor Sheridan's biggest stars really think about working with the 'Yellowstone' creator

The third season of Taylor Sheridan‘s hit show “Lioness” has officially begun.

“Lioness” is one of many successful shows created by the prolific TV writer and showrunner. His long list of credits also include, “Yellowstone,” “1923,” “Landman,” “The Madison” and many other popular shows.

It’s not only audiences who have fallen in love with the complex characters and storylines Sheridan has created, but also the actors who work on his sets.

Here is what some of his stars have said about what it’s really like to work with Sheridan.

Ali Larter has developed a close friendship with Sheridan through working with him on “Landman.”

When speaking with People in April, Larter shared that Sheridan will often text her as he is writing, saying “if he’s laughing at his own writing… I’ll get a text.”

“I mean, you know, the first season, I spent a ton of time with Taylor,” she said. “He has a very clear vision of what he wants… and he is a visionary because when he is writing the scripts, he knows how he’s going to edit them.”

She went on to say that, as actors, they often “want to advocate for your character,” but Sheridan is “brilliant” at creating a world “where that fits into the story that he wants to tell.”

Larter also praised his writing ability and work ethic when speaking with Taste of Country, calling him “the best working writer.”

“He’s brilliant at the way he crafts his stories,” she said. “I love the characters he creates, because they’re dynamic and powerful … But he also has space to show their vulnerable sides.”

When speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in June, Larter shared that she and Sheridan knew one another prior to her getting cast in “Landman,” but that they hadn’t spoken in over a decade when she was cast on the show.

“I don’t think that you can pin him down,” she told the outlet. “I think that he’s not going to come back into the machine that just wants to break him down. And he wants to work. He’s an extraordinarily hard worker. He’s a brilliant talent. He wants to do it his way. And I think that it’s very hard in our industry to do things your own way when you’re part of the machine.”
