Did Cody Johnson Turn Down a Role in the Yellowstone Universe?

Cody Johnson was back home in Texas today. After his seemingly effortless and amazing rendition of The National Anthem before the MLB All-Star Game, we got to thinking. Do you remember when he revealed that he turned down a role to join the “Yellowstone” universe?

Despite delays, “Yellowstone” remains one of the most popular shows in production, and it’s spawned more spin-offs, sequels, and prequels than “Star Trek” and “Law and Order” combined.

A couple of years ago, Johnson revealed that he was asked about the possibility of joining the “Yellowstone” family. He tells Hot 20 Countdown host Carissa Culiner,

“Taylor Sheridan actually approached me about being in ‘1883.’ I couldn’t make it work because of my schedule. We were already booked.”

“Acting is something I really would like to do,” he says. “I was in theater in high school. I feel like It would be fun to dive into the realm of playing the bad guy or being something the complete opposite of what I am in real life… Taylor, figure it out. We got to do this, buddy. There needs to be a little bit more team roping on ‘Yellowstone.’”

There you have it, Taylor Sheridan. The ball is back in your court.
