'Landman' Adds Colm Feore In Recurring Role

Posted by on


The Umbrella Academy actor Colm Feore has secured a recurring role in Paramount+’s upcoming series Landman from Yellowstone creator and Tulsa King co-creator Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace.

Apparently recurring across all 10 episodes of the first season, the Canadian-born Feore will play Nathan, an oil company attorney and administrator. With the series currently filming in and near Fort Worth, Texas, the last five-ish weeks have struck oil on casting news, following that of series regulars Kayla Wallace, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Paulina Chávez, Demi Moore, and fellow recurrer Jon Hamm. That is on top of stars Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, and Jacob Lofland, who were announced before the actors’ strike

Known for starring on Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, which returns for its fourth and final season in August, his previous television roles include 24, The Borgias, and House of Cards, Feore has also recently appeared in For All Mankind and The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair. In film, his best known roles might include as Laufey in Thor, appearing in The Sum of All Fears, Chicago, The Chronicles of Riddick and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Landman, based on the Boomtown podcast, is set in the famous boomtowns of West Texas. It is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the oil rig business, an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so monumentally reshaping our climate, economy, and geopolitics. The series is executive produced by Sheridan, Wallace, David C. Glasser, ​David Hutkin, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari​, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Stephen Kay. Dan Friedkin and Jason Hoch, for Imperative Development LLC, and J.K. Nickell and Megan Creydt, for Texas Monthly, also executive produce. Peter Feldman serves as co-executive producer. It is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, 101 Studios and Sheridan’s Bosque Ranch Productions exclusively for Paramount+.
