‘Get Me the F— Out of Here’: Ed Harris Felt ‘Misled’ on His Dutton Ranch Role

Harris said his character was cut back during filming, though he remains signed for two seasons and expects a larger role in Season 2.

  • On Tuesday, Academy Award nominee Ed Harris told Variety he felt "misled" about his role in Dutton Ranch, expecting to be one of four main characters but finding his part "inconsequential" during filming.
  • Midway through filming Season 1, Harris asked his team to "get me the f*** out of here" because the production failed to match what was promised during early contract discussions.
  • Harris recalled filming a bar scene where his character, veterinarian Everett McKinney, sang a song that was cut from the final edit, fueling his feeling it warranted "voiding my contract."
  • Despite his objections, Harris remains signed for two seasons; producers told him his character will have "a little bit more to do" when Season 2 production begins in February.
  • After watching the finished Season 1, Harris admitted he thought the show was "pretty good" and his character felt "relatively important to the story," though it did not feel that way during production.
