Jefferson White on Whether He’ll Continue Playing Jimmy in the Yellowstone Spin-off
As Jefferson White makes his rounds at Comic-Con for Hellboy: The Crooked Man, he expresses hope that he can return to his Yellowstone role.
Comic-Con is bringing out the stars of upcoming anticipated adaptations and one movie that has its finger on the pulse of curious fans is the new reboot of Hellboy with the smaller-scope, self-contained film Hellboy: The Crooked Man.
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is involved with the project closer than ever as the movie takes its plot from one of his most popular stories from the comic. The Crooked Man finds “Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia. There, they discover a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past: the Crooked Man. In the comic, The Crooked Man was an eighteenth-century miser and war profiteer named Jeremiah Witkins who was hanged for his crimes yet returned from Hell as the region’s resident Devil.”
Jefferson White is among the cast of the new film. White plays Tom Ferrell in The Crooked Man and as our Editor-in-Chief, Chris Bumbray, got to interview the cast, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ask White if his character, Jimmy, from Yellowstone will be showing up in the spin-off 6666.
Bumbray would cap off the interview, “One last question I gotta ask you…” to which White obliged, “Please.” He continued to inquire, “Are we gonna see Jimmy in the spin-off Yellowstone show? Cause I hope ‘yes.’” White would the respond,
Boy, I hope ‘yes’ too. That’s a really fun job. And I’ll do it as long as they’ll have me.”
White was then told by Bumbray that Jimmy was his favorite character. A flattered White became all smiles as he showed his gratitude toward the statement, “Oh, thanks buddy! I appreciate it! Great to meet you! Thank you so much!”
Yellowstone will finish its run this November. The series’ star, Kevin Costner, will not be returning and the actor addressed his absence in a video that he posted.
In the video, the Horizon star would candidly explain, “I want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that’s required, and thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love, I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5B or into the future.”
Costner continued, “It was something that really changed me. I loved it. And I know you loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning and I love the relationship we’ve been able to develop and I’ll see you at the movies.”
