Now more than a decade after wrapping his role, Annable still gets love from the drama’s fans. “What a dream job that was. I was 25 when I started that show, and I was one of the first ones cast,” he recalls. “They had Calista [Flockhart], but then they added Sally Field, and Matthew Rhys, and Rachel Griffiths. I was like, ‘Whoa, this escalated.’ "
The actor — who lives in Austin with his wife,Odette, 38, and their two daughters, Charlie, 7, and Andi, 9 months — would welcome a chance to reunite with his beloved cast. “I miss my relationships with the Walker family all the time,” he says.
After the series wrapped, Annable went on to win the role of Lee, the ill-fated son ofYellowstonepatriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) courtesy ofTaylor Sheridan. Currently, he is starring in Sheridan’s new series,Special Ops: LionessalongsideNicole KidmanandZoe Saldaña, which premieres July 23.
“I’m super excited. Taylor’s incredible. He’s one of the best, most authentic voices we have out there right now,” he says.
Annable, however, initially passed on auditioning forYellowstone. “I’m from New York. I was on a horse twice in my life,” says the actor, who eventually acquiesced and won the role of Lee Dutton. “I had no idea how much I would love ‘being a cowboy,’ and being in the mountains of Montana and on a horse. I mean, it hits different, all of it.”
Now the actor is hopeful fans will love Sheridan’s new series just as much. “Taylor has said I have a face he wants to kill,” adds the actor, laughing. “For this, I was like, ‘Don’t kill me, I can’t take two in a row.’ "
Special Ops: Lionesspremiers July 23 on Paramount+.
