Yellowstone: Dave Annable, best known for his roles in TV dramas and his all-around charming “guy next door” vibe, recently sat down with Rich Eisen to chat about his role in Lioness, Taylor Sheridan’s latest gripping series on Paramount+. But hold up before we dive into CIA operatives and undercover missions, let’s rewind to Annable short but unforgettable stint on Yellowstone.
Dave Annable’s Yellowstone Role: Here for a Good (But Short) Time
First, let’s set the scene. Annable played Lee Dutton, the eldest son of Costner John Dutton. Lee was meant to be the level-headed, reliable one the future of the family ranch. But alas, this is Yellowstone, where dreams don’t come true so much as they get trampled by stampeding cattle.
But don’t feel too bad for Dave. As he recounted to Rich Eisen, working with Kevin Costner made it all worthwhile. “I got to share screen time with Costner, even if it was for just a hot minute. And man, let me tell you, dying in Kevin Costner’s arms is one heck of a résumé bullet point,” Annable joked.
The Art of Dying (While Kevin Costner is Watching)
Now, dying on-screen is no easy task. You’ve got to look convincingly lifeless while resisting the urge to blink or sneeze. But imagine doing all that with Kevin Costner towering over you. According to Annable, it wasn’t just intimidating it was downright surreal.
“Here’s Kevin, leaning over me, doing his brooding ‘I’m the patriarch of this dysfunctional empire’ face. And I’m lying there, thinking, ‘Don’t laugh, Dave. Don’t ruin the shot.
Annable admitted he had to pinch himself. After all, how often does someone get to act opposite an Academy Award-winning legend and exit in such a dramatic fashion?
Annable Thoughts on Lee Dutton Legacy
Lee Dutton didn’t get much time to shine, but his death was the catalyst for much of Yellowstone’s chaos. As Annable pointed out, “I like to think of Lee as the sacrificial lamb of the Dutton family. Without him, would all that drama even happen? Probably. It’s Yellowstone, after all. But hey, I’ll take credit for stirring the pot,
And while his Yellowstone role was short-lived, it clearly left a mark. Fans still approach him to this day, saying things like, “Why’d they kill you off so soon?” or “Lee deserved better, To which Annable responds with a smile, “Tell that to Taylor Sheridan!”
From Dutton Ranch to CIA Missions: Annable Role in Lioness
Fast forward to the present, and Annable is trading cowboy hats for CIA missions in Sheridan Lioness. The series, starring Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, is packed with action, suspense, and, of course, Annable’s signature charm.
“Working on Lioness has been a wild ride,” Annable told Eisen. “It’s like Yellowstone, but instead of horses and ranch drama, it’s espionage and badass women taking names. I’m just trying to keep up!”
Annable’s Sense of Humor Steals the Show
Throughout his chat with Rich Eisen, Annable’s humor shone as brightly as his acting chops. Whether poking fun at himself or recounting awkward on-set moments, he proved why fans adore him.
For instance, when asked how close he got to Kevin Costner, Annable quipped, “Close enough to know he smells like leather and success. I don’t know if it’s cologne or just him, but it’s intoxicating.”
What Next for Dave Annable?
Though his time on Yellowstone was short, Annable has proven he’s a force to be reckoned with. Between his role on Lioness and potential future projects, this is an actor who knows how to keep audiences entertained—even when he’s playing a corpse.
So, while Lee Dutton may be gone, Dave Annable is far from finished. And if we’ve learned anything, it’s that whether he’s wrangling cattle or dodging bullets, he’ll do it with a smile and a great punchline.
Final Thoughts
Dave Annable might’ve only grazed Yellowstone history, but his impact—both on and off the screen—proves that sometimes, less is more. With a mix of humor, heart, and talent, he’s one of those actors who leaves you wanting more.
