#SamElliott has spent more than six decades in Hollywood, but the 81-year-old says he still feels lucky to be working.

The #Landman star says reuniting with #TaylorSheridan for Season 2 was a “no-brainer” after their experience together on “1883,” praising the creator as “such a talented man.” Elliott adds that everyone involved with the series feels fortunate to be working with Sheridan.

Despite his legendary status, Elliott says he’s still learning new things about acting, especially from co-star Billy Bob Thornton. “Even though he’s playing my son, he’s still got something to offer,” Elliott says, calling Thornton a “brilliant actor” as well as a talented director and writer.

And while he’s no longer interested in playing the “young leading, dashing man,” Elliott says he’s perfectly fine with that stage of his career being behind him. “The fact that there’s a part that I can get into and really enjoy doing, it’s a wonderful thing,” he says.
