His early film work included All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006) and Assassination of a High School President (2008), which paved the way for his breakthrough television role as Ryan Lafferty in ABC's Brothers & Sisters, where he became a series regular starting in Season 4.

He is set to reprise his Yellowstone role as Kayce Dutton in the upcoming CBS series Marshals, where he will also serve as producer.
I grew up in a very religious household, and acting was my way of exploring the world beyond what I knew.
Montana feels like home in a way that nowhere else ever has. It's where I can be myself.
Music has always been a part of my life, and I'm grateful to finally share that side of myself with people.
