Everyone knows that acting is a pretty tough gig. After all, you really need to embody your character, right? But one thing even harder than that, at least in my opinion, would be having to watch your performance as it's broadcasted to millions across the world.
And for Luke Grimes of Yellowstone and Marshals, he thinks that would "actually hurt [his] process". In an interview with People at the Allegiant Stadium, he explained, "I don't enjoy watching myself."
"I don't know that it's very helpful for me to watch myself," he continued. While he says that he isn't a "method actor" per se (which is something he admits isn't exactly a concrete term - "whatever that term means these days", he quips), he certainly does "have a method."
"And that method can change from job to job. Sometimes I find things necessary to find a character, and that same thing might not work on the next job."
And for beloved character Kayce Dutton, which he's been embodying ever since he took up the role on Yellowstone in 2018, he makes sure all is up to scratch. "I've got a very specific way that I have approached playing Kayce. I've been doing it so long now that it takes a little less work to get there at this point."

The 'Yellowstone' Star Was Thrilled Over the Popularity of Spin-off 'Marshals'
Of course, Grimes reprised his role on Yellowstone on the spin-off, Marshals. The show follows Kayce as well as his son Tate as they grapple with the passing of Monica. Kayce ends up joining a team of U.S. Marshals.
"I was thrilled that people showed up for it and did seem to like it," he admitted. "Going into season two, I knew a little bit more what to expect and what to prepare for. And after doing season one, I realized how hard Marshals is," he explained.
This time around, he has prepped for the occasion, making sure he had all his "ducks in a row". On that front, he revealed he's primed and ready to "do 20 episodes this year."
He added, "I knew it was gonna be a tough, long run, but we all love doing the show and we all love these characters and it's such a great group of people who are making the show, so I'm very lucky."
