There was a "Special Forces" character who was the toughest and coolest guy ever. It was like a parody of a male fantasy of being tough and cool, but it was meant unironically. We were watching it and goofing on it because the character was such a joke, smiling through firefights and always being tough and cool and all that. Turns out the character was played by....

Taylor Sheridan himself!

He wrote himself his male fantasy character and then played it. What an absolute clown.
