Before creating the highly successful Western drama series \u201cYellowstone,\u201d Taylor Sheridan was a significant cast member on the acclaimed TV series \u201cSons of Anarchy.\u201d Up until season 3, Sheridan played the role of Deputy David Hale in the crime series. However, his time on \u201cSons of Anarchy\u201d came to an abrupt end when his character was killed off in a drive-by shooting at Half-Sack\u2019s wake.<\/p>\n
The decision to write off Sheridan\u2019s character was not solely driven by the needs of the story. In an interview with Deadline, Sheridan revealed that his departure from \u201cSons of Anarchy\u201d was influenced by what he perceived as unfair treatment in terms of compensation. The offer made to him was considerably lower than that of almost every other cast member on the show and was insufficient for him to quit his second job.<\/p>\n
Sheridan recalled a conversation where he was told that he wouldn\u2019t be paid more because, in the business\u2019s view, he wasn\u2019t worth more. Despite acknowledging that he likely deserved more, the response he received was that he was number 11 on the call sheet and that was his perceived value. Frustrated with this assessment and not wanting to be limited to the 11th position on the call sheet, Sheridan made the decision to quit the show.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on that moment, Sheridan stated, \u201cI decided right there that I didn\u2019t want to be 11 on the call sheet for the rest of my life.\u201d This decision allowed him to shift his focus to what he identified as his true passion and talent\u2014writing and storytelling. Subsequently, Sheridan wrote two Oscar-nominated movie screenplays and became the creator of \u201cYellowstone\u201d and its spin-offs, showcasing his storytelling abilities behind the camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
