Forrie J. Smith, who portrays Lloyd on Yellowstone, shares a unique bond on set with his real-life son, Forrest Smith, who plays a younger version of Lloyd in flashback scenes.
This father-son dynamic adds a special layer to filming, blending family pride with professional support.
A particularly memorable moment unfolded when Forrest faced a challenging scene that required skilled horsemanship. Sensing his son’s nerves, Forrie offered a quiet pep talk, drawing on his own rodeo experience.
With his dad’s encouragement, Forrest took on the scene with confidence, impressing everyone on set with his natural talent and determination.
For Forrie, this wasn’t just another day on set—it was a chance to watch his son step into his boots, both literally and figuratively. Reflecting on the experience, Forrie shared his pride, not only in Forrest’s abilities but in the strength and dedication he brought to the role.
This unique partnership has left a lasting impression on the Yellowstone crew, creating moments that go beyond the script and make filming even more meaningful.
