\"Taylor<\/p>\n

\n
In 2011, ‘Yellowstone’ creator Taylor Sheridan was a jobbing actor down to his last $800.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When he attempted to negotiate a pay rise for his role as Deputy Chief David Hale in FX’s ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ an exec knocked his attorney back by saying:<\/div>\n
“He probably deserves to make more, but we\u2019re not going to pay him more… There are 50 of him. He is #11 on the call sheet. That\u2019s what that guy is and that\u2019s all he\u2019s ever going to be.”<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
That was the final insult that convinced Sheridan “I didn\u2019t want to be #11 on the call sheet for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
So he got to writing, and four years of typing away later, he’d turned in a screenplay that became Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Sicario’ (2015). A masterpiece, through and through.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The following year, Taylor Sheridan racked up nominations for David Mackenzie\u2019s critically acclaimed ‘Hell or High Water’ (2016) starring Chris Pine and Ben Foster; before making his own spectacular directorial debut with ‘Wind River’ (2017).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
The real game changer, however, was the moment he co-created one of the most successful modern television franchises with Art Linson: ‘Yellowstone.’<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Despite being snobbishly rejected by HBO during a prolonged pitch process, the five-season affair featuring Kevin Costner has spawned two epic spin-off shows with three more currently in active development.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
It also convinced Paramount to let him produce five more passion projects \u2014 ‘Mayor of Kingstown,’ ‘Tulsa King,’ ‘Special Ops: Lioness,’ ‘Lawmen: Bass Reeves,’ and ‘Landman.’<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
In present day, Taylor Sheridan is worth over $200 million and the proud owner of historic Texas property Four Sixes Ranch, AKA 6666 Ranch (pictured: below).<\/div>\n
