Tim McGraw is one of the stars of the Paramount+ series, 1883 — and he said one thing that makes his job a lot easier is the creator’s attention to detail. McGraw applauded Taylor Sheridan, hailing him “one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around” for his accuracy on set. Sheridan has an eye for detail that represents the time period, even whether cowboys would roll up their sleeves.
McGraw said Sheridan’s attention to detail “makes it easy” to do his job. Episode 10, the first season’s finale, is set to air on Sunday, February 26. See McGraw’s full statement about Sheridan, shared by his record label, here:
“Knowin’ Taylor, nothing surprises me about his accuracy. He’s one of the smartest guys I’ve ever been around. He’s always comin’ up with little ideas like, ‘Why are you wearing your gun that way? They didn’t wear their guns that way. Don’t roll up your sleeve. Cowboys didn’t roll up their sleeve.’ Stuff that he knows that I had no idea about that makes it work. But I think he tries to make it as real and as authentic and as historically accurate as he possibly can. And the set design’s so good on this. They’re not missing any details on any of this, which makes it easy to get into the world. You get there and you sort of mind relax and breathe in this mountain air and walk around and imagine what was going on during that time period, and imagine what your character would feel like. It makes your job easy.”
