Paramount+ announced that Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm has signed on for a recurring guest role in creator Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Landman series.
Hamm is set to portray the role of Monty Miller, who is described as “a titan of the Texas oil industry who has a long personal and professional relationship with Tommy Norris.” He recently starred in The Morning Show Season 3 and Fargo Season 5. The Mad Men alum will be joining previously announced lead Billy Bob Thornton, who will play Tommy Norris in the drama, which is currently filming in Fort Worth, Texas.
