Taylor Sheridan's charming backstory as a theater kid who spent his weekends on a Texas ranch is almost too perfect. His Yellowstone franchise revived the Western genre and catapulted it to the greatest heights of TV success. It was the Paramount Network's first scripted series, and Sheridan takes several roles throughout its ongoing run. He's parlayed that victory into two prequels and an excellent new show about Bass Reeves. Before all that, however, he learned a few valuable lessons on the set of Vile, an awful torture horror movie. Everyone needs a dry run or two.
