Exclusive: Dutton Ranch's Finn Little opens up about his time with Kevin Costner, reflecting on the impact of working with Hollywood royalty and the lessons learned on set. Little, a young Australian actor, shares his thoughts on the upcoming spin-off, Dutton Ranch, and its departure from the original series, Yellowstone.
In an interview, Little expressed his awe at working with Kevin Costner, describing him as a 'bucket list person' and acknowledging the opportunity to share the screen with such a legendary actor. He highlights the subconscious learning that occurs on set, attributing his character's ability to horse ride to Costner's character in Yellowstone. Little's perspective on the industry is one of humility, as he admits to struggling to articulate what he has learned from his colleagues.
The actor's career trajectory is impressive, with a big-screen debut at age 11 alongside Geoffrey Rush in Storm Boy. He has since led blockbuster thrillers, working with renowned actors like Angelina Jolie and Nicholas Cage. Little's involvement in Dutton Ranch marks a reunion with his on-screen parents from Yellowstone, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, known to fans as Beth and Rip. The spin-off promises a gritty Texas setting, a stark contrast to the original series, and introduces a new rival for the Dutton family.
One unexpected reunion on set was with fellow Australian Jai Courtney, who Little had previously worked with in Storm Boy. This unexpected encounter added a touch of familiarity to the production. As Dutton Ranch premieres, fans eagerly anticipate the continuation of the Dutton family's story, far from the familiar grounds of Yellowstone and into the rugged terrain of South Texas.
Little's journey in the industry is a testament to his talent and dedication, and his collaboration with Costner is a highlight that he will undoubtedly cherish. The upcoming spin-off, Dutton Ranch, is a significant chapter in his career, offering a unique challenge and a chance to showcase his versatility as an actor.
