Riley Green can stand in front of 20,000 screaming fans without breaking a sweat. But put him on a movie set and his hands start to shake. He is officially joining the cast of the new show Marshals, a spin-off of the hit series Yellowstone. He confessed that stepping into the world of acting wrecked his nerves.
Riley explained that singing feels like home, but acting requires a kind of vulnerability he did not expect. He is used to the loud roar of a concert, yet the quiet pressure of a camera made him feel those first-day-of-work jitters all over again.
