How did Taylor Sheridan become famous?

Believe it or not, Taylor Sheridan originally rose to prominence in the film and TV world as an actor. He appeared in small films and landed recurring TV roles on shows like Walker, Texas Ranger and Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman during the '90s. In 2005, Sheridan landed his first recurring role, playing Danny Boyd on UPN’s Veronica Mars (alongside Kristen Bell), which earned him his first taste of recognition, with appearances on the show lasting until 2007.

The following year, Sheridan booked his first major acting role as Deputy Chief David Hale on Sons of Anarchy, which he played from 2008 to 2010. After turning 40 in 2010, Sheridan made his transition into screenwriting. His first screenwriting credit came with the acclaimed 2015 film Sicario, for which he received a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Not bad for a newbie!

His first script, which actually sold before Sicario but was stuck in development, Hell or High Water, came out the following year and earned Sheridan an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

With these credentials already at his back, it’s no surprise that Sheridan was able to co-create Yellowstone in 2017 with John Linson; the show premiered in 2018. Even with such impressive movies to his name, Yellowstone may be the project he is most famous for at this time.
