\n\tAs a country artist, Cody Johnson<\/a> has topped Billboard\u2019s Country Airplay chart twice, has won CMA Awards, and has been headlining shows for years. He\u2019s also a longtime cowboy, who recently won a top spot <\/a>in the World Series of Team Roping Qualifier. But could Johnson have his sights set on the big screen?<\/p>\n \n\tWith his riding and roping skills, it would seem that Texas native Johnson would be a natural on Taylor Sheridan\u2019s hit television series Yellowstone<\/em> \u2014 in fact, Johnson had to turn down a role on the show due to scheduling conflicts. But he told Audacy<\/a>\u2018s Rob + Holly that he\u2019s been in discussions with Sheridan and his team about some future acting possibilities.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve tried a couple of times [to appear on Yellowstone<\/em>] and my schedule is too busy to put aside the time,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe\u2019re looking ahead to the future. There\u2019s a few movie things were I\u2019m like, \u2018Look, if you guys give me the notice I can make this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile the \u201cDirt Cheap\u201d hitmaker recently extended his headlining Leather Tour, adding 10 shows to the trek, including a show at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas on Nov. 9. Whether he\u2019s on stage or (presumably at some point) on the big screen, Johnson knows the impact he\u2019s having on younger generations and it\u2019s a role he takes seriously.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt\u2019s not lost on me that these kids, these young men will come to the shows\u2026 eight- and nine-year-old kids and say \u2018Mr. Cody, when I grow up I want to be just like you\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018Alright, Johnson, you better make sure you\u2019re putting forth a good example\u2026 don\u2019t screw this up, because then you\u2019re letting that kid down.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tJohnson says he wants to be a good role model not only due to his influence on younger generations, but because he\u2019s thankful for the career he\u2019s forged and the family he\u2019s been blessed with.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIn my younger years I was pretty wild,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019ve been blessed with an opportunity to have a career that I never thought was possible, to have a marriage that I never thought was possible, and to have two little kids that I couldn\u2019t have dreamed of in my wildest dreams. I think you either screw it up or you man up.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tOf course, Johnson wouldn\u2019t be the first singer to appear on one of Sheridan\u2019s projects. Reigning CMA and ACM entertainer of the year Lainey Wilson<\/a> has had a recurring role on Yellowstone<\/em>, while Ryan Bingham has portrayed the role of Walker. And don\u2019t forget, actor-musician Luke Grimes was already a Yellowstone<\/em> star when he decided to make his foray into country music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
