<p>Elliott got his <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/sam-elliott-what-is-his-net-worth-and-when-did-he-start-acting.html/”>first acting credit</a> back in 1969 in an episode of <em>Judd for the Defense</em>. He continued working in television over the years before transitioning to films. His movies include <em>Mask</em> and <em>Fatal Legacy</em>, and <em>The Big Lebowski</em> is one of his most notable appearances.</p>
<p>In the film, Elliott acts as the narrator and also meets the main character as the Stranger. He soon established himself as a character actor and is still getting movie roles. Meanwhile, he continues starring in various TV shows.</p>
<p>For instance, Elliott was in a few episodes of <em>Parks and Recreation</em> and the lead in <em>Justified</em>. His <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/yellowstone-prequel-1883-where-have-fans-seen-sam-elliott-before.html/”>most recent role</a> is Shea Brennan in the <em>Yellowstone</em> sequel spin-off <em>1883</em>. The show depicts John Dutton’s ancestors moving to Montana and building the ranch.</p>
<p>Elliott’s character is the one who guides the Duttons and others to their destination. The show is a limited series on Paramount+ and contains only 10 episodes. Besides performing voice overs in a few <em>Family Guy</em> episodes, Elliott has not appeared in anything after <em>1883</em>.</p>

<p>Celebrities have different reasons why they developed an interest in the film industry. In an interview with <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzhA0UEN6ro&ab_channel=Variety” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Variety</a>, Elliott talked about how he got into acting. He became interested in the career when he saw a movie as a kid.</p>
<p>“I used to go to a local theater called the Sequoia. There was a movie called <em>The Creature from the Black Lagoon</em>, and <em>The</em> <em>Creature from the Black Lagoon</em> spoke to me on so many levels,” Elliott explained. “I saw it several times and have really made up my mind. I thought, ‘That’s what I’d like to do.’”</p>
<p>The classic monster movie really inspired Elliott. He also watched plenty of television growing up, especially Western shows. However, the stars did not impress him all that much. As a result, he thought he could get into the TV business as an actor.</p>
<p>Elliott eventually got some theater experience in college. Afterward, he would start getting roles. Instead of watching Westerns, he now stars in them.</p>
