Riley Green has already confirmed that he’s going to be making his acting debut in a TV show sometime soon, but he has yet to share any specific details. Luckily, some eagle-eyed fans may have just figured out the secret he’s been keeping.
Earlier this week, the trailer for Season 1 of the new Yellowstone spinoff series, MARSHALS, dropped, giving the first look at the action-packed drama set to unfold in the story that finds Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. The first season will consist of 13 episodes that follow Kayce as he embarks on a new chapter after what appears to be the loss of his wife, Monica (played by Kelsey Asbille), leaving him with just his son Tate (Brecken Merrill).
Based off the scenes strung together in the trailer, he uses his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to join the U.S. Marshals. With all the criminal activity that has moved into Montana, Kayce and his teammates, including Pete Calvin (Logan Marshall-Green), Belle Skinner (Arielle Kebbel), Andrea Cruz (Ash Santos) and Miles Kittle (Tatanka Means), will work together to defend their land.
The tension ramps up when Kayce reconnects with a former SEAL teammate, and together with his Marshal unit, they hunt a bomber threatening Broken Rock Reservation, leading to a high-stakes showdown with an armed anti-government militia.
Amid all the chaos and violence, fans think they spot Riley Green making an appearance during a rare quiet moment around a campfire. The actor, believed to be the country star, wears a cap that hides most of his face, making it hard to confirm. But with a guitar in hand and his recent acknowledgment of his venture into the acting world, it seems likely that it really is him.
Back in December, the Alabama native told Country Now that he had to remain fairly tight lipped about what he had in the works.
“I need to actually sit down and talk to somebody about what I’m allowed to say… I’ll just guess I’m allowed to say that I have done some acting, and it’s a show, and it’s going to be airing sometime fairly soon.”
He also shared that finding time for this exciting new experience was challenging with all his travel and touring, but once on set, it all came pretty naturally to him.
“As far as actually on set acting and kind of being there and getting into that head space, I felt like it came sort of natural to me.”
More recently, Green shared an update that included a pretty undeniable hint about his role in MARSHALS. Speaking with Country Now and other outlets yesterday at the BMI-hosted No. 1 party, he opened up about his growing interest in stepping out of his comfort zone and exploring opportunities that could build his career beyond the stage.
“That may be an avenue for me to dial back my life on the road if I’m doing something else that’s also kind of building my career,” he admitted. “And I certainly think acting can do that. You look at what the shows like Yellowstone have done for the Western lifestyle and how big country music I think is becoming big in other countries because of shows like that. So it’s definitely something I’m interested in and we may or may not see something like that.”
Fans will finally learn the truth as the new Taylor Sheridan-created series unfolds, premiering Sunday, March 1 (8:00–9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
