Yellowstone actor Forrie J. Smith will not attend the upcoming Screen Actors Guild Awards due to rules requiring all attendees to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The Yellowstone cast is nominated in the top category of ensemble in a television drama alongside Succession, Squid Game, The Morning Show and The Handmaids Tale. The nomination marked Yellowstones first major bit of awards attention after four seasons on air. Smith posted a video on Instagram saying he is against vaccinations and thus wont be at the SAG Awards later this month.
I want to apologize to yall for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Smith told his Instagram followers. I mean no offense to anyone. Im not vaccinated, and its a requirement to be vaccinated.
Im not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated, Smith added.
I havent been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I dont vaccinate my dogs, I dont vaccinate my horses. Ive never had a flu shot. I never will. I believe they compromise your immunities
Its just my beliefs. I just dont believe in that stuff. Whatever.
Smith stars in Yellowstone as Lloyd Pierce, a senior ranch hand on the Dutton Ranch. The actor was featured in a recurring role on the shows first two seasons before being upped to a series regular in Season 3. Yellowstone Season 4 gave Smith his most material to date.

(2,962 posts)He has been lucky.
The old immune system thing.
They never learn.
With less masks and people wanting to go back to normal
his luck will run out.

(1,884 posts)Me of knuckle draggers running around with MAGA hats on. In this case, he's telling us verbally he doesn't need a life saving vaccine. Just another way of saying " I'm a fool "

But he looks exactly the way I thought he would. They may as well be wearing signs...
