Taylor Sheridan is unarguably one of the most renowned artists in Hollywood in today’s day and age, especially in the television shows/series industry. And this irrevocable fame isn’t for his outstanding acting skills, but rather, for his brilliant skills as a story creator and a showrunner, considering how he has brought a whole masterpiece universe likeYellowstoneto life most epically.
However, while many people know him for the widely respected and thoroughly successful man that he is today, not everyone knows how he initially started — which was as an actor. And his story of finding a place in Hollywood is quite literally just as amusing asYellowstoneand all its prequel spin-off sagas he has made to date, considering how he literallypunchedhis way into the industry!
Taylor SheridanLiterallyPunched His Way Into Hollywood!
Taylor Sheridanis renowned for being a star-studded actor and an even better storyteller, as can be derived from all the works he has starred in and helmed until now. But there is a lesser-known side to him as well; one that could land you in trouble if you’re not careful enough.
In fact, this other side could end up with theHell or High Wateractor punching you square in the face — just like what he did to his co-aspiring actor during his audition for a commercial when he refused to follow Sheridan even after admitting to his first warning.
This happened back when Sheridan was spotted by a talent scout while he was in Austin, which was followed by him eventually landing in Chicago to audition for a Montgomery Ward commercial, according to the story shared byEsquire.

Back then, during the audition process, the auditioners were called in two at a time, and the person that the fan-favoriteSicariostar was called with kept on talking over him throughout the interview. Needless to say, Sheridan was annoyed and didn’t hesitate to let his partner know about the same.
As Esquire puts it,the actor cum directortold this other guy:
Hey, man. you interrupt me again, I’m gonna knock you out. Just letting you know.
Ironically enough, this guy understood what Sheridan was trying to say and even nodded to his warning, but still kept on talking over him.

That being said, a pissed-off Taylor Sheridan had had enough of this over-talker and ended up doing just what he warned his partner about: Hepunched him square in thejaw before gathering his stuff to leave the place with no hope of being called back.
However, surprisingly enough, instead of losing the part and heading back to Texas, the1883helmer actually ended up scoring the role. Why? Because the producer found this instance hilarious enough to cast him!

While Sheridan may be described by most as a person with a mostly serious kind of personality, ironically enough,this one producer, who cast him in the Montgomery Ward commercial, actually found what he had done with his co-aspiring auditioning actor to be funny.

According to what theWind Riverhelmer seems to have told Esquire regarding his conversation with the producer during the same interview:
You know why I hired you?”the producer asked him.“Why?”asked Sheridan.“Because that’s the funniest damn scene I’ve ever seen in my life,”replied the producer.
Well, hilarious or not, either way, what matters is that Sheridanwas cast in the roleand had finally made his way into Hollywood — or more like punched his way into it!
