IMDbPro: What has playing Teeter in Yellowstone taught you as an actor?
Jen Landon: Take big swings, but always root it in truth and do YOU. I did NOT think there was a shot in hell I was getting this job. So I just went, OK, I’m gonna be this person, as I see her, to me, and that will be the only way I feel good walking away from this audition. Don’t try to do an idea of what you think they want. And I still am constantly falling into the latter trap and having to pull myself up by my bootstraps, but it’s all a constant practice, right? Teeter and working on Yellowstone have also taught me about not being precious, not trying to make meals where there aren’t any. And I also love the downtime I get on this show. I really get to observe and learn, not just from other actors, but from crew, and it’s given me an incredible chance to step behind the camera and learn from that perspective as well.
