“Tom and Rita and Faith and I have been friends for a really long time. We’ve tried to do some things together that never worked out, so when this little cameo was there I called him up and said, ‘There’s this cool part…I hate to ask, but…’ and he said, ‘I’m in. Tell me when and where and I’ll be there.’ The emotion in that scene was pretty authentic,” McGraw explained to USA Today.

You know “1883” is going to be lit when Tom Hanks is in it! Hanks is one of the best actors to ever live, and he’s now joining the “Yellowstone” universe.

If that doesn’t raise your interest at least a little bit, you probably weren’t a real fan to begin with.

It’s truly incredible how big “Yellowstone” has gotten as a show and universe. In 2018, it felt like I was the only person I knew watching it when season one aired live.

Now, pretty much everyone I know is hooked on the Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner hit.
