It looks like Riley Green may be adding actor to his resume. In the trailer for the new Taylor Sheridan-created series, “Marshals,” a man who appears to be Green is very briefly singing and playing guitar around a campfire at the 1:39 mark.

The show, which premieres March 1 on CBS and Paramount+, is a spinoff from Yellowstone and follows Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton as he moves into the next chapter of his life following his father’s death. Though his wife, Monica, was alive at the end of Yellowstone, it looks like she may also be dead in the Marshals premiere, and Kayce makes a comment that “Yellowstone’s gone along with most of my family.” He also remarks, “The only thing I ever wanted was taken from me,” as a sheet is pulled over an unidentified body.
Kayce is now a full-time U.S. marshal and is quickly taking on the bad guys — both the two- and four-legged kind — in the trailer.
Green’s representative had no comment on whether he is appearing on the show.
Last May, Scott Borchetta, founder and head of Green’s record company, Big Machine Label Group, told Billboard that acting was definitely on Green’s mind.
“Riley called me about a year ago and asked about Tim McGraw and how did Tim [get into acting],” Borchetta said at the time. “That’s something that he is going to spend some energy on, and I think we could see another gear with him in that space.” McGraw is also part of the Sheridan universe, having starred in Yellowstone prequel 1883 with his wife, Faith Hill.
In a Q&A at the Grammy Museum in August in Los Angeles, avowed movie lover Green talked about his interested in making the leap to the big (or little) stage after showing off his acting chops in such videos as “Worst Way.” Then in December, he confirmed to Country Now that he had already shot a guest spot. “I’ll just guess I’m allowed to say that I have done some acting, and it’s a show, and it’s going to be airing sometime fairly soon,” he cryptically said, adding that he had felt very comfortable on set during the quick taping.
“It just happened so fast that I didn’t really have time to get nervous and so I was just kind of, the scene was done, and I was like, ‘OK, well I guess it was all right,’” he shared. “They didn’t yell at me or yell ‘cut’ or anything, but it was a lot of fun.”
