"Taylor Sheridan came up with a great idea for Landman season 2: Add Sam Elliott. From his very first scene in the Texas oil drama, it was clear that the 81-year-old was a perfect fit to play Tommy Norris's (Billy Bob Thornton) father. He's just as cranky, bitter, and full of wisecracks as his fictional son. If Elliott was in every scene, I wouldn't have anything to complain about."
"As Landman fans may recall, Garcia first appears as "Galino" in the season 1 finale. He saves Tommy from death by eliminating his violent underling, Jimenez (Alex Meraz), who captured Tommy over a land rights deal. Galino then tells Tommy that he hopes to be friends with him after saving his life, but Tommy declines. The landman won't have any hand in supporting Galino's illegal businesses."
Sam Elliott appears in Landman season 2 as Tommy Norris's father, delivering a cranky, bitter, wisecracking presence but appearing sparingly and missing episode 3. The season shifts focus to Andy Garcia's villain, raising questions about the character's necessity and role. Garcia first showed up as "Galino," saving Tommy by killing Jimenez and offering a friendship Tommy declined. Galino negotiated Cooper's contracts for six oil wells; once they produced, Cooper sought Tommy's help too late. Galino reveals himself as Danny Morrell, owner of Sonrisa and other legitimate businesses that conceal leadership of a Mexican cartel while claiming to reinvest and diversify revenue.
