Forrie J. Smith, who plays Lloyd on Yellowstone, has a unique bond with his real-life son, Forrest Smith, on set, where Forrest plays a younger version of his father’s character in flashbacks. This father-son dynamic has brought a special energy to filming, blending personal pride with professional support.
One memorable moment occurred when Forrest had a scene that required some impressive horsemanship. Knowing his son felt the pressure, Forrie gave him a quiet pep talk, sharing wisdom from his own rodeo days. Forrest, encouraged by his dad’s words, tackled the scene with confidence, impressing the cast and crew with his skill and grit.
