Two years ago, MTN dubbed him “Montana’s Most Interesting Man.” Now, this Indian Cowboy, inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, and professional bucking horse producer, Dougie Hall, is back on our televisions in the wildly popular series Landman.

Hall is a Native from the Blackfeet Reservation near Browning, MT. His entertaining (and interesting) videos have made him a bit of a social media star. Hall has roughly 300,000 followers on TikTok, 200,000 on Instagram, and another 100,000 on Facebook.

 

 

In this 2023 YouTube clip below, Dougie shared what ranch life is like in the middle of a Montana winter. Hint: it’s not easy.

My spouse and I are getting ready to start watching the Paramount+ series Landman. Ok, we may have started Season 1… but I fall asleep easily when she wants to watch TV late at night, so we’re going to do a re-do on Season 1 before jumping into the current season.

 

 

Anyway, as I was working on this article, I found that Landman isn’t Hall’s first foray into acting. He worked as a cowboy stuntman on Kevin Costner’s two-part film Horizon. Fans of Tyler Sheridan’s set-in-Montana 1923 might recognize Dougie from his character Two Spears, a Comanche reservation officer.

 

Hall also worked on Wyoming singer/songwriter Ian Munsick’s documentary, White Buffalo of the West, which was released in 2024. In Landman, Hall plays a character named Russ “King” Fisher.

When he’s not in front of the camera or busy with speaking engagements, Dougie Hall owns and operates his bucking horse company called Good Medicine Bucking Horses, LLC. I love this quote on the company’s website:

 

 

This list of Landman facts goes much deeper than what inspired the show, who stars in it and how big the audience is. Here you’ll learn the truth about the most memorable scenes and lines of dialogue, including that line from Ainsley Norris. You know which one we mean.

During S1, Ep. 9, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talks to Jon Hamm’s Monty Miller about the importance of family. The three-and-a-half-minute scene is just Jones talking about his life and how hard he worked to get his kids involved in the family business.

It’s really powerful!

Talking to Variety, series co-creator Christian Wallace admits Jones’ scene was unscripted and was “one and done,” meaning he didn’t need to do it a second time.

“It was pretty heavy being in the room listening to that,” Billy Bob Thornton would add. “It made you feel like you weren’t in a scene … It made you feel like you were just sitting there listening to a guy tell his story.”

During Ep. 5 of Landman, Ainsley Norris meets her new next door neighbor, Shelby. That’s Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s daughter Audrey, and it’s not her only appearance.

During Ep. 7, the two teens attend a party on the patch. It goes comically wrong.

McGraw and Hill could have introduced their daughter to creator Taylor Sheridan. In 2021, they starred in the Yellowstone prequel 1883.

Early ’90s country music hitmaker Mark Collie plays Sheriff Walt Joeberg on Landman. He’s friends with Tommy Norris and appears in a number of episodes.

“Even the Man in the Moon Is Cryin’” and “Born to Love You” are his biggest hit songs, but he’s scored a number of acting roles, including Frankie Gray for 12 episodes of the ABC/CMT show Nashville.

You’ll see it in the eyes. In 2012, Eric Church released his signature song, “Springsteen.” The music video opens with a teenage girl describing her perfect guy — it really sets the tone for a wonderfully nostalgic story.

That girl is actor Kelsey Pribilski Ray, and she has gone on to score a number of small roles for TV, film and commercials. During Ep. 10 of Landman, she plays Jasmine, one of the dancers at the strip club that Ainsley and Angela take the senior citizens to.
