Wind River
Sheridan handled plenty of horses on the ranch he grew up on in North Texas, before he moved to Los Angeles to make a stab at showbiz; take one look at him, all compact frame and weathered masculinity, and you realize he’s one of the few modern actors that would make a convincing onscreen cowboy. And after several decades of bit parts, “Cop No. 3” roles and a brief but recurring turn on Sons of Anarchy, he was seriously contemplating moving his family to Wyoming and becoming a full-time wrangler. He was frustrated, stifled, at a dead end. Better to rope fillies and have some dignity, he thought.
What happened next has become the stuff of contemporary Hollywood lore. Sheridan decided to try his hand at penning a few spec scripts, despite never having written any previously. Within six months, he had finished three of them. Miraculously, he had sold two of them right away. Even more miraculously: One was Sicario, the tense Feds-vs-drug-cartel thriller starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro that topped a lot of 2015 year-end lists. The other was Hell or High Water, the sleeper hit of 2016 that garnered Sheridan an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.
