#INTERVIEW: LUKE GRIMES ON “MARSHALS”

By Mr. Will Wong

YELLOWSTONE has received recognition and the highest accolades possible in Television including wins and nominations at the Primetime Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards. Its legacy is about to begin a new chapter as spinoff and sequel MARSHALS.

At the center of the story is Luke Grimes, reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. He comes from a bloodline rich in killer instinct, and is a former U.S. Navy SEAL, now with a group of U.S. Marshals, protecting Montana amidst violent times. Undergoing immense loss and grief, he re-invents himself, while also navigating being a father to Tate (Brecken Merrill).

Grimes graced us with his presence on the fittingly yellow carpet tonight at a special Panel & Reception event at Baro, moderated by Adam Wylde and Jax. We even had the opportunity to chat with Grimes, who was very giving and generous with his time. This was by no means his first time in Toronto, having filmed Hello Stranger in Hamilton a few years back, but he admits he doesn’t know the City very well!

We chat with Grimes about:

• the over-arching theme of grief and how that powers Kayce through this season

• an emotionally-resonant moment between him and Merrill at the end of the first episode in season one

• preparing the great physical demands of his role in this season
