Go Behind the Scenes of 1883 with Eric Nelsen
1883, creator Taylor Sheridan's prequel to Yellowstone, which follows the Dutton family as they journey west to make a new life in Montana, is far from a sanitized look at pioneer life. But amid storylines focused on death, disease, and the other hardships of life on the trail, one character offers a bit of positivity: Eric Nelsen's Ennis, a young cowboy beginning to fall in love with Elsa Dutton (Isabel May), the daughter of James Dutton (Tim McGraw).
"Ennis doesn't take things too seriously. He's a little goofy; he's extremely loyal. He's a through and through cowboy—but he's also sensitive, and we're starting to see that more and more with his relationship with Elsa," Nelsen says of the man he portrays. "He's been out on the land, staring at cows for so long, and so finally, a fun, pretty girl comes his way and I don't think he knows what to do with himself. He's completely smitten."
Ahead of tonight's episode, Nelsen opened his camera roll to T&C to share a behind-the-scenes look at 1883, and the moments that didn’t make it on screen.
