Sam Elliott Joins the Cast: A Western Legend Returns
Sam Elliott, best known for his roles in 1883 and his iconic performances in Westerns, is stepping into the Landman universe. His gritty portrayal of Shea Brennan in 1883 alongside Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Isabel May won over fans and critics alike.
