As a seasoned gamer who has binge-watched countless series, I must admit that Taylor Sheridan’s character Travis Wheatley in Yellowstone was initially a source of amusement for me – not because he’s poorly written or lacks depth, but rather due to his striking resemblance to the creator himself. However, after delving into fan theories, I have to say that the idea of Jimmy being Sheridan’s self-insert character is quite intriguing.

Due to the shortened season duration for Yellowstone’s finale, many viewers found themselves disappointed by the extensive portrayal of Taylor Sheridan’s character Travis Wheatley. However, an intriguing hypothesis suggests that Travis might transform into an entirely distinct character.

As a fellow gamer and TV enthusiast, I can’t help but notice the familiar face of Taylor Sheridan in shows like 1883 and Lioness. You might not know him by name, but if you’ve watched these series, you’ll recognize his characters – they’re unforgettable! He may have started off as an actor, but his true impact lies behind the scenes, creating a world that keeps us hooked.

In the realm of Yellowstone, I can’t help but feel that Travis is Sheridan’s most extraordinary creation thus far. This cowboy icon frequently appears, dazzling us with his million-dollar-plus horses, and in the series finale, he made a dramatic entrance to save the day at the Dutton Ranch’s auction.

Many viewers seemed displeased with the extensive screen time given to character Travis, particularly during the poker scene in Episode 13. However, a popular fan theory suggests this could significantly change his role.

Jimmy could be Taylor Sheridan’s self-insert instead

From Travis’ perspective, a lot of fans speculated that he was Taylor Sheridan’s character representation in Yellowstone. Given that Sheridan shares similarities with his on-screen cowboy and rancher character, some viewers have considered his appearances as being self-serving or self-indulgent.

On the other hand, a theory proposes that Travis might not be a self-representation of Sheridan. Instead, it could potentially be Jimmy.

One Reddit user suggested that Jimmy might be Taylor’s personalized character in the show, often referred to as a self-insert. Although it’s clear that Jimmy has been inserted into the series as Travis, the character of Travis seems rather shallow and was likely originally intended as a brief appearance. The user believes that while Taylor may aspire to be Rip, his true persona is more akin to Jimmy.

Jimmy starts off in Yellowstone as a troubled drug dealer struggling in life. His grandfather pleads with John Dutton for employment and purpose for him. As a result, Jimmy is recruited, marked, and assigned a new position on the ranch. Initially, he finds it difficult to adapt, but by the end of the series, he transforms into a genuine cowboy, working diligently on the renowned 6666 ranch.

This tale is all about an underdog, and this theory implies that Jimmy’s background shares more commonalities with Sheridan’s than it does with Travis.

According to his Wikipedia biography, TS was an unusual blend of a weekend ranch hand and a theater enthusiast. He’s not very tall, slightly under 5 feet 9 inches, and quite awkward. This explains why Jimmy, his stand-in, is often used, making the plot points such as two competitive barrel racers vying for him more plausible, along with the storyline where Jimmy is sent to the 6666 ranch to be harshly trained into a genuine cowboy by Travis.

Jimmy seems to be constantly shadowing Travis, displaying an admiration that borders on idolization. This behavior appears to convey ‘Look how pathetic I used to be, see how cool I am now.’

The responses to the post vary from agreement to disbelief, with some suggesting that Beth might also be Sheridan’s dream persona.

Regardless, this intriguing hypothesis could prove useful when Travis and Jimmy make their appearance in the forthcoming spinoff series, 6666. It’s something to keep on your radar.
