Once upon a time,Taylor Sheridanhad a different role in mind forDarren Mannin theYellowstone-verse.
All my auditions were for Spencer, recalls Mann to Deadline.
I never read for Jack.
Darren Mann as Jack Dutton of the Paramount+ series 1923.Emerson Miller/Paramount+
I was feeling pretty good about it but I wasnt sure, Mann continues.
I was like, yeah, lets go.
I love playing Jack.
Ive always wanted to be in a western.
The idea of being in a western is like every little kids dream, to play a cowboy.
So I started taking riding lessons.
I wanted to double-check I was sharp.
When the opportunity comes, I better be ready for it.
Sklenars Spencer is his uncle.
Hes so pure intentioned, Mann tells Deadline of Jack.
Hes so much different than the rest of em.
Hes not hardened or jaded.
He has such a beautiful, pure view of the world.
