So while the actor may not be so seasoned in dishing out performances as funny and hunky potential boyfriends, Grimes does have quite a bit of experience filming in exterior locations, on top of just being a fan in general. The setting of the film is a survivalist trek down the Appalachian trail, a slightly more stressful version of a casual retreat, which means a lot of moments shot out under the sky. It’s quite a step away from some of his most recognizable roles, and he acknowledged that it’s a change up from the roles he’s used to, which “skew a little more dramatic” and intense. In Happiness for Beginners, Grimes portrays a doctor named Jake who strikes up an unexpected romance with Kemper’s recently divorced Helen, who is the older sister of one of Jake’s friends. And I read the script and I was like, ‘I think I could do this.’ But something you won’t find in that filmography before Happiness for Beginners is him as a lead romantic foil, and as he told People, that was something he’d long aimed to tackle in his career, saying: Prior to taking on the role of Kayce Dutton in the Paramount Network western, Luke Grimes was known for roles in such projects as True Blood and Brothers & Sisters on the small screen, and the Fifty Shades trilogy and American Sniper on the big screen. And the actor revealed it’s the kind of project he’s always wanted to be a part of. For instance, those with Netflix subscriptions have been turning out in streaming droves to catch Luke Grimes opposite Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt vet Ellie Kemper in the new romantic comedy Happiness for Beginners. Yellowstone’s future remains hanging in the balance, with the back half of Season 5 still needing to be filmed and edited (assuming Taylor Sheridan finished writing it ahead of the WGA writers strike), but that doesn’t mean audiences aren’t able to catch the show’s stars in other projects.
