The Early Life of Taylor Sheridan
Taylor Sheridan was born in Texas, USA, on May 21, 1970. His parents raised him on a ranch there. He had a difficult childhood growing up in poverty with a dysfunctional family. When he was 12 years old, he was herding cattle in hostile environments. In 1991 his parents divorced.
He enrolled at Texas State University after graduating from high school, but left midway through and moved to Austin. He briefly mowed lawns and painted walls to make ends meet in Austin.
Once, while looking for a job in a mall, he met a talent scout who assured him that if he was willing to move to Chicago, he could pursue acting as a career.
Taylor Sheridan acting career
Taylor Sheridan started his acting career with minor roles in independent films. He appeared in episodes of the TV shows ‘Veronica Mars’, ‘Texas Ranger’ and ‘Walker’. But it wasn’t until he played David Hale on the television series Sons of Anarchy that he rose to prominence.
Even after the success of the series, he did not receive adequate remuneration. For almost two years he received a basic salary and to make ends meet he had to teach acting at night. The producers decided to pay him extra after he requested a raise.
He then moved to Wyoming with his family to pursue a career as a ranch manager. He was confident in his ability to create compelling stories, but he was looking for another way to make a living. He started writing his first story, “Sicario”, at the age of 40.
He had no idea it would ever be filmed when he wrote it. “Sicario” began filming on May 19, 2015 in Cannes. He then completed ‘Comancheria’, his second short story. Hollywood was eventually credited with awakening it from its creative slumber because of Sheridan’s films.
He received numerous awards, including the Writers Guild of America Award. He was also nominated for the 2016 Best Original Screenplay Oscar and the Academy Award.
