Josh Lucas also opened up to Collider about how much he appreciated "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan allowing him to take on the role of a younger John Dutton. "With Kevin, it was different because it was Taylor Sheridan," he recalled. "I really like Taylor. I think he's a fascinating, amazing screenwriter and storyteller. I sometimes find these people in my life who I'll reach out to and say, 'Look, I'll be an extra for you,' and Kevin is one of those people."
"I was very, very honored to go do it," Lucas continued. "I really find Taylor's work extraordinary, and Kevin is an icon for a reason."
While it may have taken almost until the end of "Yellowstone" for Lucas to get the chance to chew up the scenery as John Dutton, it seems somewhat serendipitous when you consider the timing. With Kevin Costner set to exit the series in Season 5, Part 2, a deep dive into the character's past helps to flesh out the Dutton patriarch as fans prepare to say goodbye to him.
