The way we were trained, the saddles, the reins, everything that you saw on the wagons, on the horses … Everything was period-appropriate.
#Faith hill and tim mcgraw series#
The entire series was very physical, but it allowed us to become these people of 1883. It was difficult for the men to wear, and really difficult for the women to wear because we had corsets - and they were real corsets. HILL Everything was ingeniously designed. How did the costumes and setting help you get into character? But we wanted to keep it as real as possible for those characters. Inherently, our relationship and our chemistry and who we are together - it’s going to be there. We wanted to shed as much of that baggage as we could. MCGRAW My thought was: People are going to have a hard time overcoming seeing Tim and Faith onscreen. I needed that in order to be as natural as possible. It seemed to work, because Tim still surprised me when we were working together - he did things as James I didn’t expect from him. It would have been hard to separate the two for me. Tim’s a legit actor, and I felt the only way to bring it as authentically as I possibly could was to experience James and Margaret for the first time on set. We’ve never done anything like this together. How did you work to keep the Duttons in 1883 and come back home as Faith and Tim again? MCGRAW It also gave us a head start in finding our characters.įaith, I’ve read that you didn’t want to run lines with Tim at home. It’s kind of a great audition for landing your own show.
A couple of months later, Taylor called and said, “We showed the flashbacks to the studio and they wanted to buy a whole season. MCGRAW That was her main concern: “Do I get to get to be in a shootout?” So, we took a road trip, we got in our 17-year-old Cadillac Escalade and drove to Montana and spent a couple of weeks up there shooting a couple of flashbacks for Yellowstone. HILL I said, “What? Do I get to shoot someone?” He said, “Give me a couple of weeks,” and he came up with a whole flashback idea: “You’re going to be the original Dutton who founded the Yellowstone Ranch, and we’re going to flash back to the 1890s.” He called me back a week later and said, “Do you think Faith would be interested in playing your wife?” If he came up with something that was interesting, I’d be glad to do it. Certainly I was interested in it, but I told him I didn’t want to be some singing cowboy that just comes to the bunkhouse and gets carried to the train station at the end of the episode. I got a phone call from Taylor, and he wanted me to come on Yellowstone and do a scene or two.
We’d watched every episode from the very beginning. I was in the right place at the right time, married to the right guy. The pair spoke to THR about how the authenticity of the shoot helped them get into character and the Old West skills they picked up along the way.įAITH HILL The phone call came to Tim.
