He appeared in a total of seven episodes over the series’ five seasons and was often hired by the series’ star and main character, John Dutton (Kevin Costner) to help him choose some horses for his ranch. In the 2021 episode “No Such Thing as Fair”, Travis is once again hired by John Dutton to represent Yellowstone Ranch as a rider as the Duttons attempt to expand their influence in the equestrian arena.

You would assume that Sheridan would deliver some of the best and funniest dialogue, right? First he quoted from his favorite film: Rest house“I’ll get as much sleep as I need when I’m dead,” as he expresses his love for the character he plays Sam Elliott In the film, Travis then gives Jimmy some friendly advice on how he can be successful in equestrian sports.
