Taylor Sheridan <\/strong>has created an empire, and the actors on his shows do not hesitate to praise him for it. Stars from Landman and his new show<\/a>, The Madison, have praised Sheridan in recent interviews.<\/p>\n Landman stars Billy Bob Thornton<\/strong> as Tommy Norris, who is trying to secure his company\u2019s lead in the oil industry. The show premiered in 2024 and quickly became one of the platform\u2019s most popular shows. At a recent Q&A panel, Thornton credited Sheridan with Landman\u2019s success. Per Variety<\/a>, Thornton said Sheridan\u2019s casting decision is the foundation of their chemistry. \u201cPeople say, \u2018How do you build chemistry?\u2019 I don\u2019t think you can. I think it\u2019s just there or it\u2019s not. And we had it immediately,\u201d Thornton explained.<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with this caliber of actors and having that material that Taylor Sheridan generates consistently, you can\u2019t ask for any more. We\u2019re just so lucky to be here and do what we do,\u201d said Sam Elliott,<\/strong> who also worked with Sheridan on the Yellowstone spinoff 1883. Elliott joined Landman in Season 2 as Thornton\u2019s father.<\/p>\n Building on that praise, Demi Moore<\/strong> spoke about Sheridan\u2019s writing, saying, \u201cThe thing about Taylor\u2019s writing is that you know it\u2019s going to be smart and rich and heartfelt and always with a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Michelle Pfeiffer<\/strong> was so confident in Sheridan\u2019s abilities that she signed onto The Madison before reading a single script. \u201cWhen Taylor Sheridan meets with you and says, \u2018I would like to develop a series around your character,\u2019 I mean, you don\u2019t take that lightly,\u201d she said. Her intuition was correct. The Madison became Sheridan\u2019s most-watched debut with 8 million views in the first 10 days, according toVariety<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Madison follows the Clyburn family after the deaths of Preston and Paul, played by Kurt Russell <\/strong>and Matthew Fox<\/strong>. Pfeiffer plays Stacy Clyburn, the matriarch, as she and her daughters deal with the loss. Both Pfeiffer and Russell were shocked by the viewers’ emotional response to the show. Pfeiffer said, \u201cWhat I have been the most surprised by is how deeply this show resonates with people\u2026I think it\u2019s given people an opportunity to just let it out, and maybe men especially don\u2019t give themselves permission to do that.\u201d <\/p>\n Russell shared a similar sentiment: \u201cI had a hard time getting through every script. If there\u2019s any guys out there that think the way I do, they\u2019re going to be crying their eyes out half the time, and unabashedly so, because it\u2019s the kind of thing that makes you really feel something.\u201d<\/p>\n Thornton also believes Sheridan\u2019s ability to relate to people is what makes Sheridan so successful, claiming that the showrunner has his \u201cfinger on the pulse of people.\u201d<\/p>\n Adding to that point, Landman actor Andy Garcia<\/strong> says that Sheridan\u2019s writing is the foundation on which all of their success is built. \u201cIt starts with the quality of the writing and the ensemble that he\u2019s chosen to execute his words\u2026it all starts from the storytelling and Taylor\u2019s words and the way he builds a season,\u201d explained Garcia.<\/p>\n Further supporting Sheridan, Thornton told Us Weekly<\/a>, \u201cHe’s created quite an empire. And you have to respect him for that. He has the fame, he has the success, he deserves to be recognized for the work in shows.\u201d He also pointed out that, despite how prolific Sheridan is, neither he nor his shows have received any awards.<\/p>\n Both The Madison and Landman have been renewed for another season. Sheridan\u2019s catalog is available to watch on Paramount+.<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Men’s Journal<\/a> on Jun 15, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
