Rumors swirled through the whispering pines of Hollywood that Costner and Sheridan were in a heated feud. The Hollywood Reporter, in a rather interesting feature, delved into this alleged feud.

I didn’t have this conversation with Kevin. There was a time in Season 2 when he was very upset and said the character wasn’t going in the direction he wanted. I said, “Kevin, do you remember I told you this is the godfather on the biggest ranch in Montana? Are you surprised the godfather kills people?” [Dutton’s] Obligations to his family and way of life. Dutton’s big failure is not getting along with the times – not finding different sources of revenue [for the ranch]. Kevin felt season two deviate from that, and I don’t know he was wrong. In Season 3, we’re back at it. And I remember him winning a Golden Globe last year for his performance, so I think it works.
