Get ready for a behind-the-scenes adventure with the cast of Yellowstone! You won't believe the unique roles some of these talented individuals took on. One of Yellowstone's stars, Forrie J. Smith, a real-life cowboy, played a crucial part in designing the iconic bunkhouse scenes, leaving creator Taylor Sheridan so impressed that he wrote more of these moments into the show. But here's where it gets controversial... Smith's expertise wasn't just limited to acting; his knowledge of ranching life was invaluable for the show's authenticity.
And this is the part most people miss: Gabriel "Gator" Guilbeau, the head of craft services, was also a master chef! His delicious creations kept the cast and crew fueled and happy, often working long hours to provide hot, homemade meals. Guilbeau's dedication didn't go unnoticed, and Sheridan decided to cast him in an on-screen role as the Dutton family's chef.
In an interview, Guilbeau shared his experience, revealing that his days often started at 3 a.m., and his team would set up kitchens in the most unexpected places, like the middle of a forest. He said, "Filming isn't as glamorous as you'd think." But his hard work paid off, and his apple pie even won over Kevin Costner!
So, how did Guilbeau get his big break? It was all about being himself. In a moment of serendipity, Sheridan asked Guilbeau to perform his regular chef duties on camera, and the rest is history. Guilbeau's natural charm and talent shone through, and he became a beloved character in the Yellowstone universe.
With more Yellowstone spin-offs on the horizon, we can't help but wonder: will we see more of Guilbeau's culinary creations and acting skills? The possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to see what this talented cook-turned-actor does next!
What do you think? Should Guilbeau stick to the kitchen or embrace his acting career? Let us know in the comments!
