“Luke Grimes Explains Moving from Hollywood to Montana with Wife”
Luke Grimes has made a significant transition from Hollywood to a more serene life in Montana. This move was fueled by a growing connection to the Montana lifestyle, which he and his wife, Bianca Rodrigues, have embraced wholeheartedly. As he prepares for the premiere of his latest project, Grimes shares insights into this pivotal change in his life.
Transitioning from Hollywood to Montana
During a premiere event for his new series “Marshals,” Grimes explained his decision to leave Hollywood behind. He used to spend three to four months of the year in Montana for filming. Each return to Los Angeles felt like leaving home, pushing him to consider a permanent move.
Grimes noted, “It was just a gear change that slowly happened over a few years.” In partnership with his wife, they decided to make Montana their home. The couple also shares a child, a son named Rigel Randolph Grimes.
About the Upcoming Series “Marshals”
As the star of the “Yellowstone” spinoff “Marshals,” Grimes reprises his role as Kayce Dutton. This new series explores a different narrative, combining elements of justice and law while maintaining ties to Montana’s rugged landscape.
- Grimes’ character is now part of an elite unit of U.S. Marshals.
- “Marshals” will showcase a blend of his cowboy skills and experiences as a Navy SEAL.
- The show is set against Montana’s backdrop, focusing on themes of family and duty.
Character Development and Series Goals
Grimes aims to portray a character who evolves throughout the series. He mentioned the challenge of embracing a lawful approach, moving away from the “dirty” tactics depicted in “Yellowstone.” This develops a more restrained side to his character as he learns to uphold the duties of a U.S. Marshal.
He confirmed that he and showrunner Spencer Hudnut wanted to retain the essence of “Yellowstone” for longtime fans while ensuring that “Marshals” stands on its own.
