Yellowstone's Tate actor, Brecken Merrill, credits Kevin Costner with confirming his passion for acting during a tough shoot 👀 '[H]e kind of guided me to that area of, yeah, this is what I wanna do. [...] It's zero degrees, but I'm loving it.'
Yellowstone star Brecken Merrill reflects on the sound advice Kevin Costner gave him while filming. Led by Costner's John Dutton, the Paramount show centers on the widower John's family and homestead, which include his children as well as one living grandchild, Tate , Kayce and Monica's son. Due to his family's many enemies, Tate has gone through several harrowing experiences over the course of Taylor Sheridan's neo-Western, such as being kidnapped and having to shoot a man.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Merrill is one of Yellowstone's youngest cast members, putting him in the unique position of being able to learn from the many talented actors and crew members that work on the series, though the show is apparently not always a forgiving place to work.
"Kevin [Costner] says, 'Do you really, like, wanna do this? Is this what you really wanna do?' I thought about it for the next month, and he kind of guided me to that area of, yeah, this is what I wanna do. This is my career. This is my passion. It's super cold. It's zero degrees, but I'm loving it. I wanna be here. I just wanna thank Kevin. I'm so blessed to work with such an amazing cast.
The scenes in which John interacts with his grandson are some of the most treasured by fans of the series, and it is easy to understand why. Tate's age allows viewers to see a different side of John as he interacts with his grandson, leading to many moving as well as amusing moments between the Dutton pair in Yellowstone.
The charming youth had his childhood stripped away after the traumatic events he has undergone, which provided some heart-breaking character growth for Tate as well as establishing stakes beyond life, death, and loss of property for viewers. In the back half of Yellowstone season 5, which will return later in 2023, Merrill will continue exploring his passion for acting by returning as Tate. The character will likely still be reeling from a difficult personal loss when the season starts again.
