Ready To Ride
Yellowstone’s Jefferson White sounds off on the drama to Us
Jefferson White cemented his place as a Yellowstone fan favorite ever since his character, Jimmy Hurdstrom, stepped foot onto Dutton Ranch in the series’ first season. The actor opens up about Jimmy’s next chapter (spoiler alert!) to Us.
Q: We last saw Jimmy riding off into the sunset with Emily. Is that the last glimpse of him?
Jimmy’s in season 5. I’m really excited that his journey continues, and I have no idea where it leads.
Q: How are you similar to Jimmy?
When I started Yellowstone, I had never touched a horse in my life.
So, in the same way that Jimmy is desperately trying to keep up when he starts working at Dutton Ranch, that was similar to my experience on the show. I had the least experience of anyone on set. [Like] Jimmy’s been learning from Rip, Lloyd and John, I’ve been learning from [costars] Cole Hauser, Forrie J. Smith and Kevin Costner. We’re both committed to trying to learn from the geniuses around us.
Q: How do you feel about Jimmy going back to Texas and leaving Yellowstone? Is he done for good?
It’s a real moment where, for the first time in his life, he’s given the opportunity to actually make his own decision. I think that’s a beautiful thing.
