We kept each other updated on what was happening.

It was very convenient.

I live in L.A. with Aminah and Julia.

2025 TV Premiere Dates

Were all attached at the hip.

It just feels like we all understand each other.

Weve kind of been inseparable since the show wrapped in December.

We sit together and watch the episodes every week.

RANDOLPHI know Taylors writing because I watched 1883.

I think it really deepens the love story between Elizabeth and Jack.

Its made them stronger as a couple.

RANDOLPHI dont think that even crosses her mind.

The Dutton family is her family and Yellowstone is her life.

Its just something she has to work through.

DEADLINE Youve had a lot of scenes withHelen Mirrenand Harrison Ford.

What has it been like to be on set with them?

Have you questioned Harrison a lot about his films, about Star Wars?

RANDOLPHI have not asked Harrison questions about Star Wars yet, but I will be getting there.

I dont want to bombard him too much, but hes lovely.

Theyre both so easy to get along with and chat with and Ive learned so much.

I will take things I learned from them both into the rest of my career.

DEADLINE Do you have any idea where you and Jack are in the Dutton lineage?

RANDOLPHI have not been told anything.

So I dont know, but I definitely hope its Jack and me because that would be fun.

DEADLINE Perhaps thats something you’ve got the option to text Taylor about.

RANDOLPHI dont know if he would respond if I texted him aboutthat.

DEADLINE You werent really on a horse much this scene.

But they still sent you to Cowboy Camp,right?

But I would love to see Elizabeth on a horse.

DEADLINE Tell me how you were first cast.

RANDOLPHI had heard of Yellowstone for many years.

I knew that Helen and Harrison had been cast and I fell in love with Elizabeth.

My dad was at my house watching my cats when I was testing in Jackson Hole.

When I got home and Taylor called me, I was with my dad.

We were like sitting in the backyard and I was drinking a margarita to calm my nerves.

Then Taylor Sheridan pops up on my phone screen.

DEADLINE When you are out and about, do folks recognize you from1923?

And if they do, what do they ask you about?

RANDOLPHThey want to know about the family tree.

My family is convinced that I know and that Im just secretly not telling them for some reason.

Im like, I would tell you guys if I knew.
