It looks like “1883” is coming together in epic fashion. I was already super pumped when Sam Elliott joined the cast. Now, Billy Bob Thorton is joining the crew.
It’s safe to say that my excitement is through the roof.
We’re talking about the man who made Coach Gaines an epic character in “Friday Night Lights.” The man can set a scene like few other people in Hollywood.
We all know “Yellowstone” is one of the best TV shows ever made, and it looks like Sheridan is going to have another monster hit on his hands with “1883.”
