Yellowstone's The Marshals The spinoff shocked viewers with a deadly farm fire that caused a country singer Riley GreenGarrett's character is suffering from second degree burns.
On the Sunday, May 3, episode of the hit CBS series, Kayce (Luke Grimes) saw a fire breaking out in a barn on his property. He ran when Garrett helped the horses in the stable to escape but things changed. Garrett was caught under a falling pole and subsequently suffered second degree burns.
Another episode showed Garrett's loved ones worried about his health – and his lungs – after a doctor noted that there was more internal damage than external. It remains to be seen how much of a health scare Garrett is going through.
The Marshals marks Green's acting debut – he also appeared in several episodes this season.
“I'm so excited to be joining the cast of The Marshals. Meeting my friend Luke Grimes made the experience even more memorable,” Green said in a statement in February. “It was my first time around the acting scene and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the world.
Green plays ex-Navy SEAL Garrett, who arrives at the farm hoping to lean on his friends Kayce Dutton and Cal to help “put to rest the demons of his past,” according to the official character description.
“It happened organically. It came from Luke Grimes, who has become a really good friend of mine,” Green told People in April about how his role on the show came about. “He was starting his music career and he was starting to come to Nashville and do some writing and stuff. I was trying to help him in that world a little bit with other people I knew. He was like, 'Man, you should try acting, you know? I think you're going to do well.' I was just putting some thought into that.”
Green recalled that everyone was “very accepting” of him during his time on set as he weighed in on acting and acting.
“A lot of my musical work, apart from writing new songs and adding things to the set, there's a lot of fun playing the same songs over and over again, showing in and out of the tour,” he shared. “This is something brand new every day.”
After meeting with the acting coach, Green was taught to “not worry so much about the lines” and instead focus on responding to “what the other person is saying.” Green also teased that his character is “very vulnerable,” in addition to his extensive military experience.
“He's been through a lot and he's had a lot of problems and it's not an easy thing to just jump into,” Green noted. “Of course, I think there would have been actors that would have been easier for me to get into who were more like me.”
He continued: “This guy was someone who had a lot of deep emotional issues because of things that happened to him in the past. And if you haven't lived through that, you just rely on the reactions of other people in the room.”
The Marshals airs Sundays on CBS at 8 pm ET.
